My project in Naturalist Animal Illustration with Procreate course

I decided to try this Cheetah for my project. It took quite a long time to get the fur done. I tried to build it up in layers and ended up mixing the layers so the first version is a bit dark - too complicated to try to brighten up different layers without losing detail. A great learning experience though!

The final version is better in my opinion. I used layers to make corrections to the luminosity and to the background. I also made the picture slightly bigger.
