Description Finally finished drawing this tiger . The original photograph is by *HeWhoWalksWithTigers , also known as Eric "Kuba" Ash.

Tools: average drawing paper, two graphite sticks (HB and 8B), .5 mechanical pencils (HB and 2B), a kneaded eraser, a plastic eraser, and the reference picture linked to above.

I gave the piece to my bio prof, though I definitely didn't draw it for her. It was for Eric, Vince, you, and me. Enjoy.

NOT MY WORDS:
Tigers are the largest of the big cats and are exclusively found in Asia from India to Vietnam, from Indonesia to the Russian Far East. The tiger can be divided into 9 subspecies: 4 are currently critically endangered and 3 are already extinct. Though estimations of tiger populations only a few years ago was 5,500-6,000, today populations are likely closer to 3,500 and are still declining. Dramatic declines of the tiger in India, thought to host the majority of the world's tigers, have fallen to less than 1,411. Overall, the past decade has seen a 40% reduction in tiger habitat, which now represents a mere 7% of its historic range. Poaching is a significant problem throughout the tiger's range, the demand for its body parts in traditional medicines, tonics, and exotic dishes driving a lucrative trade that is wiping out entire populations. Long-term threats include habitat fragmentation and prey depletion, which is accelerating the tiger's demise and subsequently reducing the long-term genetic viability of many populations.

If you want to help, the best for you to do is to educate yourself , never buy products made from tigers or endangered species , and tell others. Contact me [*HeWhoWalksWithTigers ] for more information.

So much detail!
I don't think your gallery gets the attention it deserves.
You are a wonderful artist.

This does not have nearly enough recognition.
It is beautiful.

Aww.. I'm flattered, but I definitely don't think this is one of my better works. In fact I'd say it's quite the opposite.

I think I've spent the most time on this one, not consecutively, but overall. I sketched it not all at once (never did that before) and then let it sit for weeks (if not a month) before actually filling in the details. Anyway, I'm glad you like it. ^^ And thank you for the .
