    Hot damn girl. How informative! The attention to detail you've captured is amazing. You never cease to amaze me. Such wonderful and helpful tips as well, you inspire me and made me feel confident to want to paint some wildlife now! LOL Every piece of work you do simply gets better and better. When you first shared the piece, it made me sad. I wasn't aware that was the intention. You nailed it. This definitely deserves some recognition and I hope it achieves the goal you are aspiring to. Amazing, amazing, phenomenal work!

    this leopard is absolutely stunning, it was such a joy and awesome to see this piece from start to finish via the video! The details and texture are incredible and you beautifully mastered the fading and message behind this painting! I love these videos where we get to see you turn a blank canvas into something amazing , keep up the great work as always!

      Thank-you so much! :) Most of my paintings are completed with: Titanium White, Mars Black, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Cadmium Yellow, Cadmium Red, Thalo Blue, and Mixing White! I believe this was painted on a 14x18" Canvas with Round Brushes (0,00,000) Filberts, (2,4,6) and Liner Brushes! I hope this helps.

    Cassy have just come across your vid as i,m wanting to get painting wildlife after doing landscapes by combining both but failing miserably by not achieving the realism. Your tiger face is just amazing and would love to achieve something close but dont know where i,m going wrong, perhaps just keep going is the answer. Keep up the amazing work your doing. steve

      Steve, thank-you so much for your kind words and feedback on this video and welcome to my channel! I’m glad to hear that you’re joining us with wildlife art. If there is anything I can help you with I’d be happy to. Doing studies, and keep practicing and developing a style is definitely something I recommend. It takes a while, and requires a lot of patience as I’m sure you know! ☺️ Happy painting and hope my videos can help you in your journey.

    I thought leopards were brown n white
    Perhaps grey? Am missing something.
    Thanks again

    • @cassydraws
      @cassydraws  Год назад

      Thanks so much. Yes, they are typically brown, yellow, orange, and more natural in colour. For this painting, I wanted to show the level of extinction of leopards by only having a small section of natural colour left - the rest is faded and withering away in grey. Just a little play on words, and visual element I added to this painting. :) Hope this helps!

    Fabulous! Love your work!! And I also have a deep love for animals. I do pet portraits. Can you give some advice on highlights on black fur in acrylic? Thanks!!!

    • @cassydraws
      @cassydraws  3 года назад

      Thank-you so much for taking the time to leave such wonderful feedback. I’m always glad to meet fellow animal artists! 🥰 I do have a tips and tricks video in my ‘Acrylics Playlist’ about Black fur! But! My biggest piece of advice would be the colours used to highlight. I try to avoid using pure white, and always tint it with another colour like blue, or brown. I am super selective on where I put those highlights and pay close attention to the light source in the photo. A lot of times I see artists get carried away with highlighting everything, rather than the most important key areas. I also find round brushes work best for me with highlights, but have started using some filberts if I have a larger area to cover. Let me know if this helps or if I can go further into detail! I hope the video may help too. 😙

      Hi Marsha! :) If I remember correctly, that angle did not have very many eyelashes visible, so I kept it a larger chunk rather than individual. It has been a while since I revisited this piece, so I probably would do it differently now! :) I hope this helps. ♥

    • @cassydraws
      @cassydraws  3 года назад

      I decided to leave the rest of the body greyscale, to show that the leopard's are "disappearing" and fading away into extinction! Kind of a symbol of their declining numbers in the wild and captivity. Thank-you! I'm glad you like it! :)
