Description
thanks for 2500 pageviews! this is totally awesome!EDIT: tiger's head is now bigger... i was going for sleek, but I think this still has that sleekness, but is more true to the character... (more on that, later)

jeez, you're awesome. is that the original size of the picture? i can never work in such huge sizes x_x what program do you use?
great composition, especially. the tiger's head is perfectly in the center and the girl balances out the tiger's pose perfectly. perspective is wonderful too; i love how the shapes in the background direct the eye to the focal point of the picture.
as usual, your colors work together perfectly. very bright luminous colors and perfect knowledge of where to put them.
the girl is cute d: great anatomy too.
so, where'd you learn to draw?

"Awesome," huh? I dunno' about all that, but thank you! The pic is actually about 8" to 10" tall in my sketchbook. Once i have it in the computer, I can resize to anything. When I output my pics to .jpg, I tend to do it all big-like 'cause I like nice, high-res imagery. I use Adobe Illustrator. Thank you very much for all the nice things you say!
I learned to draw in a tiny animator's studio at Disney TV (I did not work there, I knew a guy who did) I practiced for years in my room... any drawing "breakthroughs" or "milestones" were stumbled across at work or at school (I'm only good when I'm not supposed to be drawing)

The colors on this are sheer eye candy. Bold, vivid and complimentary.
And the composition is perfect.
The tiger's head looks a tad too small, but other than that, this pic is PERFECT. I love eet!
