Serval and an art tip

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it, and sharing an art tip too.

Today's drawing is a serval, we went to Tilgate Park today and they fed one a rabbit! This is a compact little predator.

Today's tip: Art teachers talk a lot about perspective and proportion. I have invented my own simple definitions for these, which I include here, but as always, if you really look, you will see what is there without needing a rule to tell you what is there.

Perspective is simply the way in which things (or parts of things) look smaller as they get further away. For example roads get smaller (narrower) as they get further away.

Proportion is simply how many of something can you fit into something else, or how big is it compared to something else.
