A big cat photo

Unearthed a picture of my big cat. I am doing a study of him for an upcoming embroidery project and this shot will help me capture his features. I am not the best quick draw artist. But I am pretty good when I have a drawing or a photo to work from. So currently I am going through all my photos and then all the books I have of Japanese art. Talk about digging in scraps.....
Peace.
