Leopard finished

so here is the finished drawing. the photo is a little dark, i'm afraid, but the drawing will be professionally scanned eventually so i can make prints from it. the second photo gives you a sense of the size of the drawing. the desk is A1 sized.

resumption of leopard drawing
following my return from a wonderful break in cornwall, where i was lucky enough to see some cornish choughs in the wild (see photo), i have resumed my work on the drawing of the amur leopard.

(note: the second image was taken at night, lit by my desklamp, hence the glare on the left hand side).
cinderella
i had previously let this go by without mention, but since my taking part in amateur dramatics forms a significant part of my creative persona, it would seem amiss not to say something about my having played the part of cinderella in a pantomime last month! it was rather fun and presented me with my first acting role since i was a child. it's been great for building my confidence, and now i'm looking for a bigger challenge by trying to get a role in a musical. here are a couple of photos of me as 'cinders'.

scan plan aborted
well, here's the finished drawing - scanned at a local print shop and darkened slightly at home: this is as close as i can get it to the tones of the original (previous scans below are a bit lighter).
i and my husband have abandoned all hope of getting the beast of a scanner to work. we are now £21 out of pocket with a huge hunk of metal to dispose of (and i think we need to bear in mind the new weee directive when disposing of the thing!).
i'm too tired out from the whole episode to think about it, and now am looking forward to my break in cornwall!
