My first attempt at screen printing! 😍 I lost some detail but I’m wondering if that’s because I printed these so small.. I guess i’ll find out with practice!

Snow leopard - ink illustration 🐆 I’ve drawn a few snow leopards already but I love drawing them so I couldn’t resist another.. and I have hundreds more photos of them still to draw 😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve been struggling with my health the last few weeks so no new work in progress pics yet as I haven’t been feeling up to anything, hopefully after Christmas I can get back to it!
