Like a leopard

It's been a while since I last drew something, so when I started with this drawing it wasn't as easy as I remebered it to be I guess when I'm haven't drawn anything for a while I just go downhill really quickly But I loved drawing this picture, mainly because I finally had all the time in the world to do so, and also because I've never drawn the bark of a tree from that close up before It turned out to be a lot more difficult than I thought, but it was such a great way to practise drawing structure like that. I'll get the hang of it
