Description
Well, Nothing really new here.This is just a slightly retouched and cleaned up submission of my original Leopard from late last year.
I made a few alterations to the neck and shoulder area, the eye and also darkened up the shadows around the mouth and teeth in preparation for submitting this to DAPrints.
Comments and Suggestions are always welcomed.

Wow amazing drawing. The pencils are cleverly used and I love the lighting. Because of it, I thought it was a photo!

Great drawing! I like the perfect control of blank area... mostly the whiskers. It was made with what kind of pencil?

The key to using negative space correctly and to getting the presentation just right is to avoid that urge to draw in that line or provide some sort of border. I don't think this piece would give quite the same impression if the similar shades weren't allowed to combined and blend seamlessly into each other like they do.

This is looking pretty fabulous.... especially the whiskers. The whole face is really well done, and very expressive. I love leopards, and it's diffifult to draw them well, so I really appreacite this! 
Nice work!

Wow, how gorgeous
I love the 'old weathered look' and I love how the black just pops out, fantastic!

That particular sepia tone is a side effect of the original being scanned; for some odd reason the process added the yellow and I liked it enough to leave it in there.

Very amazing. The light and dark areas are used very well and the soft watercolor-like feel is wonderful. Great job!

Wow, this is stunning. I really love the way you've chosen to do this in a sepia sort of tone. Your detail on the fur and whiskers is amazing and the lighting on the chin and the shadows on the neck are just perfection.

Thank you
Would you believe that the particular sepia tone on the work was actually an accidental byproduct of the scanning process? The original completely lacks it and it wasn't added deliberately.
