The face of the subject has been completely captured in this drawing. The main issue I have with the composition is that the Margay appears to be floating slightly above the rock, rather than resting on it. That is probably the most difficult part of doing animal portraits is grounding them. They key lies in relaxing the musculature of the haunches and mid back. Cats tend to sink into their surroundings. Another technique for this is to have the foreground lap over the animal, obscuring parts of the feet, belly and tail. Still for a quick rendering, it is quite nice.
