What can i say other than praise? I think the end result is very cute, surprising and unexpected! I don't think I would go with this style for every piece, but for this drawing I think it works very well! It throws in a little something new to your gallery! You could even use this style as a mini series with multiple animals sticking their noses through a tight space! It looks like this could have been from a real photo too, poking his head out of a small window in a wall at a zoo?

My only critique (which can be good or bad) is that the blue looks like a matte board you would use for framing. This is a different approach and I think i works very well, but it may be that i need to get used to that idea. It surely is the cause to the surprising factor!! It is leaving me guessing however, is it a window or a matte board? If it's a matte board it gives it a sort of mystical feel to it especially since the leopard looks so real and alive! The whiskers definitely help make it seem so 3D. This is most definitely a very nice addition to your portfolio!! As always, your technique and skill are flawless. Nothing that I can say there!! Congratulations on a very well executed piece!
