Not bad. You got a good handle on how to draw a leopard, the animal's anatomy is almost spot on. A few exceptions, most notably in the cub's left paw and neck area. Also, the cub looks mighty shocked to be in that position.

However, I think you need to be more sensitive to shading gradations. Right now, they read as very flat. There's no light source, everything is just orange or orangey yellow.

It looks like you scanned in a pencil drawing and then colored it. The borders between colors (like where orange meets green) is either really cut and jarring, or smudge-tooled. It's a bit inconsistent.

It's pretty good for a first try though. Keep at it,.
