Tiger

This week I have bee drawing tigers, here are some of my sketchbook extracts:

I also had a go at drawing a tiger straight onto photoshop. I didn't really resolve it to a super refined state, but overall I would deem the experience a success in the way that I feel my aesthetics still managed to carry across onto this entirely digital platform:

Here are some general tiger facts that I have picked up:

• They live on average to 20-26
• They are lone hunters, but will share kills with the rest of their tiger crew if there is enough.
• They are considered some of the worlds most deadly and powerful hunters.
• They can reach speeds of 50mph when in pursuit.
• This speed can only be maintained for short bursts however.
• White tigers are particularly effective hunters as they are happy to follow their prey into water.
• They are the largest of the large cats.
• They're pretty adept when it comes to what they eat and hunt.
