One of my favorite big cats is the black panther.....so I saw this ref pic, and I thought I'd give it a try. Well.....I'm posting this as finished for now.......there's still some stuff that I want to work on.....but I think I fixed up the "out of focus" look to his face and eye area, and I added some whiskers...."lol". I'm still not satisfied with his tongue.....I'll deal with that later. I thank you guys for your comments and cc's......I hope he looks a little better. I really luv black panthers......:)

The only thing that bothers me about it is the 'out of focus' parts of the face/eyes...like my eye keeps trying to correct the focus in that area...but this rocks! I love it!! There are so many great draws I see that I've missed but no time to comment on them all!!!

Thanks "DaVinci", "Elly", and "Jamos" for your nice comments.....I really appreciate it. Elly.....I can see what you 're sayin' about the out of focus parts of the face and eye area......I'm not finished with this pic yet, so I'm gonna try and correct that. I think that was one of the things that was "buggin' me about this pic.....I was getting frustrated with it, so I had to quit working on it for awhile.....I'm gonna try doing more work on it tomorrow.....maybe I'll feel more motivated....."lol". I hope I can make him look a little better. Thanks again for your comments....I appreciate all your comments and constructive criticism.....:)

Hi "bubbles"......thanks for commenting.....I appreciate it. Yeah.....now that you mention it....it does remind me of "The Jungle Book". That was a good movie.....I have the video of that movie.....I haven't seen it in a long time.....maybe I'll watch it again soon.....:)

Thanks "Elly" and "Vlad" for your nice comments......I'm glad you like the pic. "Elly" I'm glad I took your advice.....I did try fixin' the out of focus parts.....I think it looks better.....thanks for pointing that out. "lol"....I'm glad you don't mind the texture in the claws.....I was gonna try to remove it, but I'm afraid I'll just screw things up..."haha".....I'm very good at screwin' things up!! I'm still wondering if I should add a little more reddish color in the tongue....I'm gonna mess around with it later and see if I like it. Thanks again for commenting....I really appreciate it! :)
