Description: This jungle cat's face takes up the entire space of the picture. The cat has very intense, eyes and an open mouth, showing a thick tongue and sharp teeth. The artist uses scratches to add detail such as the cat's deep fur and whiskers, utilizing both thick and thin scratch marks. The lines of the cat's face give it a strong and determined visage. The cat's eyes are the most impressive part of the picture; they are round and set in the top of the eye sockets. They have all the details of an eye, and they create the look that indicates that the cat might be looking for prey.
