In my oppinion this is definitely the best i've seen of your work.
The muzzle area looks great and the fur is definitely improved from other pieces.
You could still use a little work on making the fur look less grainy/fuzzy though. If you get what i mean, i can't really think of how to explain it.
Keep up the work!!

hm... do u think its because my pencil isn't sharp enough?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That could be it. Keeping a good sharp edge on the pencil definitely helps keep things looking clear/sharp.

lov it... it has a lot of indivitual depth of still action... makes one view the whole pic slowly... that's really a great work...

thank you
hmm... the main reason i did that cuz there was some white fur stickin out but yeah i could have made it lighter

Looks amazing! I suggest filling in a bit more. the white streaks through it mane is looked rushed. That may have been the little problem all along! But, yeah, you should be able to still keep the for texture and just fill in a bit more. That ok?

hm... well i did that to show its lighter up there

This looks lovely! Great fur texture, looks brilliant!
Uhm critique critique....I don't think I can find anything to say! But then I'm still learning myself.
Uhm what pencils do you use?? I don't have any critique sorry! D:

thank you 
pencils as in brand or scale (7B, 4H ect...)?
i use like 3 different brands
scale i used i think 3B for the fur and 9B for the spots
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I love 3B pencils! yum. I use mechanical pencils a lot more lately, they're really good for getting small details and you always get clean lines and don't have to sharpen

Oh i found a small critique! Sorry for the excitement but I was looking at it for ages to find something for you, shows how good it is really
Some extra shading in the fur would be good next time, like where the shadows are, you've done it a bit in this one, but not too much so it looks slightly less 3D. But looking at the ref used it's a lot darker near the bottom of the jaguar, where the shadows are. Hope that helps

lol i see what u mean
ill make sure ill add more shading to make it more 3D in the next on
thanks for the help^^

You did pretty well on the fur and it's patterns... I can't put my finger on it... but somethings a tad off with the hair, but like I said, I can't figure it.
I noticed that you omitted the white hairs on the cheeks and some from the eyebrow patch, was this because you didn't plan ahead or didn't want to because of originality?
I was only curious because if you felt you couldn't do it I have a really neat way to make those hairs stand out so you don't forget about them while you're working.
Take a dried out pen and put your piece on top of something like a stack of papers or a magazine so that way you can "carve" those white hairs in before you start with the rest of the hair, that way, it's harder for the pencil to get into those grooves.

thank you
i didnt plan ahead
thats a good idea evcept i draw in a sketch book so i i do that it will mark through and leave an indent on the next page
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I take it it's not a sketch book that you can take the pages out of, it's probably one of those really nice bound ones.
I can't remember the rate exchange either.

lol its a cheap spiral one but i still would rather not rip out a page
yeah! they sound like its exacly what i need!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm.... well, You could still probably get away with sticking some computer paper under there... like... 5 sheets, maybe more and do it my way, and with the empty pen it's not likely to tear up the paper.

I find just simply erasing wherever you want the lighter parts to be with a kneadable eraser to be easier, then tidy it up with your pencils. Plus that way you don't damage the paper
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've never had very much luck with the kneadable eraser, I can never get it that brilliant white that everyone else seems to get... so this was the easiest I found.

I bought one of those eraser in a pencil things! They're really good! Except I overused one once and it completely ate my paper .... <.< Serves me right using the hard end. Mine's a faber-castell one, but I think there must be loads of others too.
Just in a pencil so you can sharpen it to a point and rub away
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think I know what you're talking about, now, the erasers that come in the pencil things, are those kneadable, or are they tough so your can cut them down and such? I think I have a really cheap kiddy one that I use on stuff that's not important.... I've always wanted to find one with a quality eraser to it...

This is where I got mine, I got it when I bought my polychromos from there. [link] It's only £1 I think and it's really good. Has two ends, one fairly soft rubber, and the other harder (the end that eats paper XD ) It's just rubber in a pencil, like instead of the graphite? So you can sharpen it in a sharpener and use it like a pencil but its a rubber 8D
If you go back to the rubber page on there they have some kneadable ones for sale too

i want one >< i forget whats the money difference from USA and England
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think it's roughly 1.6$ to every £. So it'd be about $1.60? Around there, I dunno.
I tried to search for them on a site that is based in the US, and I went to the faber-castell website and found this [link] You get two here for $4.95

"hard"
Me too! I just found it by while I was looking for other stuff to help when I got my pencils, and I was like.. IM NOT LETTING THIS GET BY! *buys* though it was about £3 when I bought mine <.< I've been robbed! You're welcome ^^
