~*Realistic Red Panda*~

I love red pandas. It's a shame how close to extiction they are. One came really close when I went to Dublin Zoo recently. So a red panda had to be my next realism piece. Strangely I drew this tiny amounts at a time. Very unlike me. It shows what things can do to you though. Anyways I'm glad I've finally finished it.

EDIT: This is a copy of the actual photo I used as a reference. I have been blasted by a few people for photomanipulation. I hope now people can put both together and actually see how different mine is and how far I have to go before I can truly draw realistically on the computer. I have no idea who this image belongs to. But all rights remain with them. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/igtica/red_panda.jpg Should further justification be need I am looking to do a tutorial using the this image as I have saved it at various stages that allow me to do so. I hope this clears things up. I am upset that people choose to wriongly accuse me. But I am also thrilled at the attention my drawing has brought to the species, as well as all the kind comment! Thank you to everyone who has helped me! I could never have dreamed of having so many comments on my artwork and I am thrilled to pieces!
