Inktober day 1: #swift

My day 1 drawing for Jake Parker's #inktober challenge 2017. The prompt of the day was #swift. The cheetah is able to run at 112 km/h (70 mph) for short distances. Cheetahs kill their prey by tripping it during the chase.

All my inktober drawings are done in ink on paper. I use a fountain pen and colorize the result at the computer. 

Here is the original drawing before it has been colorized: 

Since the sketches are done directly in ink without any pencil drawing first, one has to live with any error that occurs. Corrections are not possible which makes the whole thing more interesting ;)
