Created from a reference photograph taken by wildlife photographer Roxy Hemadani during a trip to the Serengeti.
Big cats have always fascinated me, and this drawing became an exercise in patience as much as observation. The challenge was capturing the countless individual hairs that define the cheetah's coat, each requiring careful layering and a consistently sharp pencil.
The damp fur along the cheek was particularly enjoyable to draw, adding texture and character to an otherwise clean portrait.
Alongside Lynx, this piece forms part of a small series celebrating the beauty, power, and individuality of wild cats.
