Description
An old picture, drawn in Photoshop 7.0 in 2004.I used reference for this picture and I guess I could had put a little more detail into it, but unforunately I suffer from an extreme lack of patience and almost never finish a picture. I will try to behave myself the next time I have a couple of minutes over, and really finish a picture, just for the sake of finishing it.
I am just uploading it to fill up my gallery because too many thought my desktop screendhot was made by me. It was NOT. It was done by the wonderful artists of CLAMP. [link]

It's a cute cub. 
The eyes are a little crooked, though they themselves look nice.

Thank you for both your compliments and accurate suggestions. Now, when having a reference picture up, before me, I see your points xD
Fact is, that I refernced this picture off a photograph I found in a book. I was actually pretty proud of the outcome, as it was rather accurate x3
Yet, this is an old picture, and my only realistic piece drawn with a mouse ^___^;;
I will keep your comments in mind though, for the next time I draw a snow leopard, as I am sure tΒ΄hey will be featured by me more times than once ;D

How cute!!! I love how you made it look so realistic by texturizing the fur to look LIKE fur. Hmmmm... Let's see if I can make any suggestions with this.... Okay, I'm taking a look at an actual picture of a snow leopard cub!!!
*compares* Okay, let's start with the ears... They can be up a little higher to the top of the head. They can also be not quite as wide and a little bigger *in height*. The middle of the ears are usually darker, almost black in some areas. It's kind of like a fading to black from the outer edge of the ears. There's also ear hair (^________^), and that can cover up a lot of the black areas in the middle of the ear. The ear hair is also rather long and kind of seperated in portions. There's also some black hair at the top edges of the ears, too. I think I've bothered you enough about the ears... Let's move on!
The eyes! Yes, let's go with the eyes. How to explain this.... Leopards' eyes are outlined rather thickly with black. Ummmmm... I don't know how else to explain that, so I'll give you a link to the picture at the end of this... Everything else about the eyes seems rather good to me. If you fixed the black outlining on the eyes, I think the rest of the eyes would look more realistic.
The nose and snout... The snout could be a little longer. The nose doesn't seem to be completely black in the picture I'm comparing with yours. It seems to be more of a fade from black at the top to more of a gray at the bottom. The nose is also supposed to be slimmer, not as round... It's kind of heart-shaped (not as round in the humps of the heart), and then it curves inward. The nostrils are kind of diamond-shaped. They start at the ends of the hump-like shape, going downward at an angle, and connecting to the bottom of the nose. Again, the picture will probably help you more...
Where the whiskers are located (where you put in black stripes) would be more of dots all along where the whiskers are... THAT'S where your lack of patience came in... XD
One other thing to say about this! The fur could be longer, fluffier, and more wild, extending beyond the ears. The fur on the body can look a lot like the ear hair, with the seperation in random portions. Ah, look at the picture, and maybe you'll understand what I'm saying!!! If you have any questions for clarification, feel free to ask me. I may not have described something very clearly...
Aw, look at the kitty!!!! [link]

Aww, that is indeed a cute picture, and such a long comment!
Thank you for having taked your time in order to tell me all this. My, I was not even aware of half all those things
I am not going to edit this picture, as Idrew it such a long time ago. My style has really changed since then, and it would not be completely right x)
I will remember all this next time I am drawing a snow leopard though, as I most certainly will. They are such amazing creatures!
Thanks again!
*snuggles*

Thank you for your nice comment ^^
And I believe that practice it all what takes to get beter in art. I do not believe that there is any kind of talent, just patience and a nice mood

0_0 You have more patience than me, thats for sure! This painfully cute, well, not realy, but almost <3
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, I might have, but patience seems to be the key to drawing and art in general. 
Thank you for your nice comment though
