Hey everyone! i have recently just finished this project. it was a monochromatic painting and i plan on doing some more like it but before i do i was hoping that you all could tell me what i have done well as what i need to do better (don't be afraid to be harsh) i like criticism and the best way for me to do better is if someone points out what i need to work on! thanks everyone!

Hey man, I think you should add your ref images... the leopard seems to be a lot of problems, but it can be due to the ref.

I see that the eyes are not well aligned.

Regarding to the face, the line of the eyes starts from above and go down, the base of the nose starts from down and goes to above and the mouth is almost an horizontal line.... According to the theory, the three lines should have the same direction. Also, the belly seems to be stuck on its hind legs.

Besides it can be problems of the ref, you can correct it.

Best regards.

yup need a ref all the above comments correct another thing here the SPOTS watch for the anatomy, spots get smaller and larger on the muscles because the angle changes and also group the larger markings example in pairs and threes etc
