A Cheetah called Tyson

Here is the most exotic pet I have immortalised, to date ....


As I began to work on him I did feel overwhelmed by all those little spots!


Of course I love to build up colour, which I began to do once I had mapped out most of his markings...


I created the markings on the bandana by using oil pastel over chalky pastels which I had blended using my finger, working as usual in coloured pencil for Tyson's fur and his deep eyes!


I worked on him for some time, and so it was hard to let him go, and I let him watch over me for a couple of days before it was time to ship him off!
