Tiger Grande WIP
Well I pretty much have the one panel blocked in, at least enough now to see where I am going. Probably will go ahead and work on blocking in the second and third panels too so that I can get it to the same stage and then overwork the final coats together so it is more uniform.
Lots of changing going on with this big guy as I work through it. I lost my drawing, so am just guesstimating where things are placed. Also I am switching it up with the brushes trying to find the one now that can give me the final fur textures I am looking for.
I think I forgot to tell you that for me this is a pretty huge piece. Total size will be about 24"x23". That's one big cat.
It shocks me every time I look at it. I knew it was going to be large, but man, I sure didn't realize it was going to be this large.
When I get the other side in it might equalize it. I know many people who work extra large, this really isn't large compared to many, and I wonder if they have to get adjusted to looking at something larger than life. But I got to say I bet when this hangs on the wall you aren't going to miss it.
The panel I am working on now is 12"x16", the second was that as well, before I cut out part of it. That smaller part will appear on our top right, giving the left ear a place to show up.
I just keep working the right eye, in the reference it is all shadow. That isn't exactly what I want, ito me has to have some life to it, so keep adjusting it. Once I get it the way I want then will go ahead and adjust the left eye to match. I also got to keep working on that nose, I am not happy with it either, think it is way too thin. Might have to back my reference photo down and just look at the overall cat and then make adjustments.
