“Snow Leopard Cub” Update
Here is a little update on my “Snow Leopard Cub” painting. The snow leopard cub is quite different from my other endangered animal portraits, as it’s going to be something between a sketch and a painting. He is looking more realistic, especially his eyes. What are your thoughts?
