Artist's Comments

An ocelot, a small wild cat which ranges from Arizona to Argentina and is sadly widely hunted for its beautiful coat and kittens. A present for my mother for mother's day, but I finished 6 days late. Reference used. I can notice a couple of flaws with the ears and the fact it has very low lighting. That light spot on the nose made alot of difference though ^^.

I'm having one of those "I am worthless days", but it's not as bad as I was last year... Heh, I just criticised myself so much then. It's a mystery how well I improved from the crap I pumped out then so fast. I think it's from constant study of techniques and whatever compliments I get, especially at school, so thanks to all of you, I appreciate your support ^^

Ocelots are fun. I have to agree, you have gotten much better quite fast, keep it up and don't be down on yourself.

I have to keep it up, or else I wouldn't have anything to do during music class and classes about Australian history ^^. It's the only thing I enjoy nowadays, which is a pity, cause me damned sketch book doesn't fit in my bag.

Oh, this is very good! I can't really see any flaws aside from the ears. Great job! :clap:

Thanks ^_^, those ears are really bugging me, but I'm going to leave them like that so I remember not to do the same next time. Is it the shading you mean or the placing (or both?)? I've never really shaded ears properly, so I dunno how they should look.

Well, I think they should be more symmetrical. The right ear is bigger than the left one and the left ear seems to be a lot closer to the viewer, because it starts at a totally different point of the head than the right one. So basically, the placing is off. The shading is okay. :)

Okay, thanks, I've got a better view of how they are mis-placed now. I only realised the off placing after I scanned it and hit myself for it. I was really striving with this one. Better luck next time eh?

Ah, this happens to me too all the time. I always realize the flaws after scanning... ^^; :XD:
