    By Linda Poynter

    This is a tutorial on my technique for using colored pencils. The subject is a King Cheetah which is a color variation on the Cheetah's normally spotted coat. The King Cheetah's coat includes stripes as well as spots. The materials used in this demo are, an 8X10 piece of cresent matboard in a beige color and prismacolor colored pencils with a bit of white gouach on the lightest parts of the coat and the highlights of the eyes.
