Description This took me forever it seemed! Even though I started it today. Heh... anyways, I had it originally with all its stripes where they properly belong, but then I did something silly and lost all my progress. So on my second try I made the tiger jumping out of its stripes- more illustrative of the excerpt from William Blake I added - you can't truly capture a tiger with drawn lines and words. Thus it's falling apart in a surreal sense. Hope you like it.

You did an amazing job on this!  I really like how the stripes are falling off of the tiger as it leaps.
This is true art.

Then, that was a very fortunate accident. You have great drawings, perhaps your lighting technique is what I envy more.
