259 - Developing The Big Cat


Slow progress on the big cat.  I've laid down the foundation and some fur for the head.  It seemed to go well, so maybe I had better not overwork it.  I've read that most healthy big cats are seldom wider at the shoulders than the width of their whiskers.  Based on that, I may have made the head too large.  If so, I can fix it easily in Photoshop.

Also, I am setting up the background layers.  I sampled most of the colours I wanted at the very beginning of the project: this creates the palette for the piece.  Here, I've re-introduced the palette in new background layers to see if the cat colours look okay.
