Clouded Leopard Continued...

Here's the next step in the process. There was about four hours worth of work between this photo and the last one that was taken. All that consisted of was patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) marking each visible hair with a single brush stroke. This however, is my favorite part of completing any painting. It's the work of detail that is the most enjoyable as the image begins to slowly take on the look of the finished product.
