When I originally created this artwork, I was very proud of it. Now I can’t help notice how much better my 2021 version is. Improved artwork is the benefit of experience. That said, I included the pattern because you might enjoy trying to create your own version of it.
Here’s the reference photo for the tiger.

The jaguar artwork is a 3-part series. The first part creates a basic jaguar image.
Part 1 is beginner friendly. There isn’t shading involved. Instead you burn the spots to a dark color, and then burn in the ‘orange’ colored fur.
Jaguar part 2. This tutorial shows how to contour the jaguar from part 1 so that it looks more 3d.
This means that we are adding shadows on the body to give it more realism. Plus the log the jaguar is perched on has more definition. You do not have to complete part 2 to do part 3.
Jaguar part 3. Part 3 explains how to create the background.
The background is broken down into 3 steps that get progressively harder.
It is completely up to you how much of the background you want to incorporate. I will mention that step 1 is very beginner friendly.
