Girls of the Serengeti 1

This cheetah chick is my venture back into anthro art. I drew animals that had human characteristics and wore clothes all during my childhood and adolescent years, but I never knew it was called anthro. So, I figured since I still like drawing animals, I may as well go back into it!
I'd like to do a series with different African animals...I already have an African wild dog penciled in my sketchbook. This one is just inked...the background is still in pencil, but I wanted to get it up here since it's taking me forever to get around to coloring it!
I have to get seriously study figure drawing so I can really get my head around muscle structure and body positions. This pose is referenced from a cover of a Soulfire comic.
