Sorry about putting this draw on advanced board....but there was no way that I could "squeeze" this pic on a smaller board. I did use a ref pic.....the original picture was done by an artist by the name of Georgia Lesley. She draws beautiful aniimals, and I'm trying to learn as much as I can. I'm posting this as "finished", because I'm tired of working on it.....I may go back to it later and do some more work on it, and I want to get it out of my "unfinished draws". I like these tigers......but I know they're not perfect......I need more practice on doing "fur".....but it was fun "trying"....."lol"! :)

This is wonderful. Don't apologise, it deserves to be here.

This has a really old, familiar feel to it. Great work.

Thank you "Blackbird" for your nice comment.....I really appreciate it.....but I do feel bad about putting this draw here....it really is not an advanced draw. I'm not quite finished with it yet....I want to work on it a little more. Thanks again for commenting.....I appreciate it. :)

Nice work so far, FC, soft glow and is that an owl, upper right corner, coming toward them? :)
vlad.the.hamster (Jun 14, 2009)
This is wonderful work. :) The tigers are so serene and beautiful. :)

It's a pretty good drawing you got goin here Mizz FC

Thank you "all" very much for all of your nice comments......I really do appreciate it. I'm glad you all like the "pic". Drawing fur is difficult for me to do.....I know it's not perfect....but I'm tryin"! Suntan....that "owl" that you see in the upper right hand corner, is not an owl...."lol".....it's supposed to be a planet with a ring around it.....like saturn or jupiter has...."lol"!!! The ref pic shows that little planet, so I thought I'd add it to this pic.......I guess it kinda does look like an owl though. I still want to do some more work on this pic. I really love tigers......that's why I wanted to try drawing this. I thank Georgia Lesley for inspiring me to draw this.....she has a really nice website....a lot of great artwork there. Anyways.....thanks again for all of your nice comments.....I really appreciate it. :)

this is gorgeous firecracker! I love the expressions on their faces..and kudos to you for doing this with no texture tools :D I also think you did a very nice job on the fur too :)
firecracker (Jun 14, 2009)
Thank you very much "Bette", for your nice comment......I really do appreciate it........I'm glad you like the pic. I was very tempted to start using the texture tool......but I managed to resist the urge...."lol"! I did use it a wee bit on the moon.....but it didn't look right, so I got rid of it......I think the moon looks better without the texture. Also....that little planet in the upper right hand corner has a touch of texture on it......maybe I should change that.....maybe that's why it looks like an owl instead of a planet...."lol"!! Thanks again for commenting "Bette".....I appreciate it. :)

Very nice Firecracker!! I love the tigers, and the moon and planet look beautiful. I just want to reach out and pet them :3

This looks well done!!! I love the textures on the fur and the planets in the background look so cool!
firecracker (Jun 20, 2009)
Thanks "kupocoffee".....for your nice comment....I appreciate it. I'm glad you like the "pic". This was my first real attempt at drawing tigers.....a long time ago, I drew one at sketchfu. I still feel that this picture isn't quite finished....I hope that one of these days I'll be able to work on it some more. I need more practice on doing "fur".....it's kinda difficult for me to do. Thanks again for commenting....I appreciate it. :)

gorgeous FC, stop apologizing....you are very good
firecracker (Jun 26, 2009)
Hi "Gillie"! Thanks very much for your nice comment....I really appreciate it. These tigers are ok.....but they could be better.....I need to learn how to draw realistic looking fur. I love the way you did the fur on your latest draw of your niece and her puppy.....the puppie's fur is fantastic! Thanks again for commenting.....:)
The_Chosen (Jun 27, 2009)
this is so pretty I love it
firecracker (Jun 27, 2009)
Hi "chosen".....Thank you very much for your nice comment.......I do appreciate it. I'm glad you like my tigers. I still might try to work on the fur a bit more though. :)

That langue is romanian..:) nice tiger
firecracker (Jun 30, 2009)
Hi "broken heart".....Thank you very much for commenting....I appreciate it. The language is "Romanian"?? Thanks for telling me.....I never would've guessed it......haha. Is the Romanian language similar to Hungarian language??? I'm just curious to know if they are the same. I'm glad you like my tigers....:)
Blackmoon (edited Jul 14, 2009)
you have such patience and such a kind heart firecracker, i love this , the feeble warm orange colors gives it such intimacy and confor and warmth while the cold and dark atmosphere really gives the feeling of the night. Very very nice
firecracker (Jul 18, 2009)
Hi "blackmoon"......I just now noticed that you left a comment on this draw.....thank you very much..... I really appreciate it! I'm glad you like the "pic". :)
