Description The first Weekly Critters ([link] ) challenge is "Jaguar vs. Leopard". I realized after I started coloring the darn thing that the silhouette on her is lacking. I had a hard time with this because drawing big cats is not my forte. But I've been practicing, so hopefully I'm getting better.
Here's the first of my pieces. The jaguar (specifically a melanistic one) is my favorite big cat, so I had a lot of fun drawing this guy. I have a jaguar character, I should draw her someday...
Sketches and stylized pieces to come, as well as the leopard.

You can definitely tell it's a jaguar - leopards don't have that chunky a body. :>

Jaguars used to be my very favorite, before being replaced eventually by cheetahs. I even lean more towards black leopards now because I like their leaner build.

Jaguars are rad because they swim, though

Yes! I'm glad that it doesn't seem like a leopard. Yeah, I saw that Youtube video that they put up on Weekly Critters of the jaguars swimming. It was awesome.

I know, right? Jaguar's kick some serious trashola.
