Description I love it when tigers do this. It makes them look like they're putting on the Buddha face, or "ah it all makes sense now" expression..

This is adorable. I love painting tigers. I really love how his stripes start to fade as you get to the outline of his figure.

I noticed while observing picture of tiger their stripes seem to be faded at the edges of their
bodies, and I tried showing that detail through this picture. I'm so happy you noticed!

Yes! It's a gorgeous little detail and I really think it adds to the picture.

I aimed it to be more realistic than my usual stuff but I still wanted that cartoony aspect of expressing emotions. even though that doesn't make sense

xenaferetek In reply to Shino-Love-Bug248 [2011-10-18 20:30:25 +0000 UTC]

Well done cartoons are very cool to me because the person has o know
well enough about anatomy to the point where they can exaggerate some features
appropriated styled. So no, comics and manga and cartoons are now low level art.


Horribly drawn cartoons are a whole different thing I call it weebo art

I agree, I actually sometimes prefer Cartoons
to Anime!
It takes a lot more work then people give credit for.

Lol also agreed! Weebo art??

I hope even though I did not add eyebrows or other cartoony aspects, I hope I gauged
the human like emotion well!


Thanks, I used some references from an old book of mine on "how to draw animals" and I tried
staying to an original design rather than copying to respect the author

sagethethird In reply to xenaferetek [2011-10-18 20:29:01 +0000 UTC]

Yeah the emotion is spot on IMO

Np, and I'd say design wise it looks very unique, especially the white space

xenaferetek In reply to sagethethird [2011-10-18 20:36:16 +0000 UTC]

That acrylic paint was so useful!

I wasn't sure how to add the white tufts, so I just kinda let it dissolve with the white paper.
I hope it doesn't look too "detached" and make the head look really small..

I've noticed that in a few of the drawings of animals you've made, they, and this tiger especially, have a realistic feal to them.

I think I made a grammar mistake there but I'm not sure what.
