Original artwork description:

This is a huge drawing measuring 37.5" x 29.5",of a young Jaguar,that I've been working on in the last few weeks,and which I finaly finished today.( 28th August 2022)
This is the first time I've ever attempted to draw such a complex scene,which demands a huge amount of concentration and patience. I wanted to attempt it,just to see whether I could pull it off.
I didn't count the hours it took to complete,suffice to say it took many weeks to plan and complete.
An art critics review,following an exhibition in Toulouse,France" Julians' ability to bring realism to has work is astounding;More than photorealism, he paints and draws what the human eye sees when viewing his subjects in real life. His use of light and shade,to create form,is second to none."
Please note,I chose to paint on very smooth heavyweight draughting Bristol board,as it suits my style of drawing.
