Ok, so this is for the International Cheetah Day Challenge.

Cheetah, which is exactly what the title says.
I'd only drawn a cheetah once before, so I had some hard times with this drawing, they've got very specific construction. Anyway, I enjoyed it much, it's a really delightful animal. But also a really endangered one.
The first time I heard about the ICDC, I didn't know how serious their situation truly is. I'll only mention that their population has become 10 times smaller within the last century alone. It makes me think of the passenger pigeon and all other numerous species we've already driven to full extinction over a ridiculously short period of time. I wish to believe this won't happen anymore. I wish to believe the cheetahs will survive and thrive in the future. I wish to believe our children won't hate us for destroying this spectacular animal.... like we did with many others.

But it depends.... ON US !!! And us alone.


Important links:
International Cheetah Day! Journal here on dA
Cheetah Conservation Fund - I strongly recommend you visit this site, there is a lot of information there which needs to be read and popularized.
