A cheetah's head and shoulders are filled with golden and terracotta botanical elements, leaves and flowers cascading down its body against a deep charcoal background. The illustration balances naturalistic portraiture with decorative patterning, creating a harmonious fusion of wildlife and flora rendered in warm metallic tones. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
