Daily Sketch 121 - Tiger Head

 

Time for big cats. It's a head study of a tiger. .  It won't be enough for me to just sketch this in greyscale. like in my previous cat heads.  It is such a bright-colored animal.  So I glazed some bright orangey color that tigers usually have.  As for the stripes, inking it with the pen tool seemed appropriate, and then scraped  it with the palette knife tool to achieve some fur texture and then blended it to soften it after.

Daily Sketch Day 26 - Tiger

 

After the cute cuddly kitten sketch yesterday, it's the ferocious Tiger for today. Just like the Zebras,  those Tiger stripes were great visual cues in finding the major anatomical landmarks that helped me draw this Tiger a lot easier. But it took me longer in rendering this though.  Partly because I was trying and testing different styles in rendering it.  Also because there were some chores I needed to do today that I didn't get to start drawing until it's already quite late in the day. Much as I try to avoid it, I missed my deadline again.   Well...tomorrow's another day, another chance.
