This is a secret test to see if I can actually start blogging. Considering this is the third blog I have ever created. I can't seem to ever find anything to upload here. If I do I'm always far too lazy to upload it. I like to hoard my work, much like a squirrel. Hopefully this particular blog wont be forgotten but we shall see.
The picture above I chose to upload isn't exactly a prime example of my skill or what I can do. It IS an example of the types of things I have been working on during the summer. Simple/doodle illustration and a mini experimental background. For this particular piece a friend paid me 60$ and told me to draw a tiger and an arctic fox. Immediately I Disney it up. I haven't tried a Disney-ish style in a long time. This style didn't come out completely Walt but you get the idea. Tigers were one of my favorite animals to do drawing studies of, especially a year or two ago. I really dig the shape of their faces. I don't feel I did the structure enough justice in this image.
As for the tiger herself not being traditionally colored take a look at this lovely animal:
This was the specific reference I was given to work with (among several images I found of tigers laying down and taking a snooze). The colors are a little more interesting than the simple orange brown and white I think.
All in all this was a fun image. I'm not 100% happy with it but what artist is with their work? I did have a lot of fun pretending I knew how to draw rocks.
