Description

Another drawing of these stunning creatures. I've sadly never seen them, but there are actually lynxes in the area where I live, and once I found paw tracks.

The contrast in this piece is excellent. The lynx stands out from the background and your eye is naturally drawn to the eyes. The texture of the fur looks like you could almost reach out and pet the lynx on the head. The proportions are correct and so is the positioning. I like how the pattern of the lynx is clearly distinguishable from the rest of the fur. I also like how the background has a basic pattern, it makes the negative space more interesting to look at. It is an excellent drawing.

The only thing I think that you could do to make it stand out more is adding color to the eyes. The viewer's eyes would be immediatly attracted to the color amongst the grayscale. This is just a suggestion. I think this drawing is amazing.
