Progress shots
Tigers have had a fair hiding in terms of body-painting,
so we thought leopards needed a bit more exposure.
The practice session had spots going in all directions, but a little more
research indicated leopards are a lot more ordely than I realised.
Hopefully a pattern any leopard would be proud to own.
On another shoot, I forgot to paint inside the ears, and it stood out
like a pink shining beacon in the shots - so this time, no problem.
(It can't feel good though!)
Oh - to be ambidextrous when painting eyes!
