Drew this after a character I made up.
He's from a new title I'm working on called Waver.
The eyes aren't done as well as I hoped but it was too hard to fix it
after I noticed.

This is beautiful. The only thing I see that could be wrong is the eyes. They point in different directions. Other than that this is gorgeous.

Keep Drawing

Omigoodness... *is jealous*

Did you use a reference for this?

The fur effects are amazing. The tiger really looks like it's fluffy and huggable (for a tiger). I'm not quite sure where the head ends on the left side of the picture though and where the body begins. I get that it has its head resting on its right foreleg, but the way the head blends into the body on that side just looks a little funny without any definition.

I do love the minimalistic fade out on the body and legs though. It just looks so dreamy and soft. Very lovely.

Wowy wow wow!

This is beautiful! Very, very, very well done. Though my skill level is nowhere as close to yours I shall review.

Eyes:

Yes the eyes are a little bizarre as you mentioned. Oneseems larger / differently shaped than the other.

Spots:

Lovely! Just lovely. I really like the fact you used shading to create the spots instead of outlining them.

Ears:

They seem somewhat small to me compared to the fluffiness of the tiger's fur. It makes them look a little weird. Add more fluff? :D

Expression:
This is my biggest problem. Since you are a very talented artist begin to try to capture something alive in your pictures. When I look at this I see a tiger. I want to see a tiger that is peaceful/at rest or a hungry tiger or even a pensive tiger. Anything! Try to capture an emotion in your images, this is the hardest thing to do and it makes the difference between good artists and great artists. Don't get me wrong, you are very talented. Just push yourself to something further, deeper.


Great job! Keep drawing and if you have any questions on what I mean by expression or anything else just PM me.

Love,

Kamas

Wow, this absolutely beautiful. You have a better job than I could ever do- I wish really wish I had your artistic talent (:

The eye of the tiger (hehe :) ) is a little lopsided, try drawing both eyes focusing on one point in particular. If you were to change the position of the left eyes and have it focusing on the same point of the right, I think you would end up with a slightly aggressive look about him. Where as if you were to mirror the left eye, it would seem to be a bit of an inquisitive look about him. The eyes are a very important feature and can plays an important role in the overall expression of a person or animals' face.

I do love the way the tiger kind of blends into the white background of the page, very nice! (:

Overall, this an amazing piece of work!

Well done (:

Hi Pink! ^^
First, let me just say that this is insanely awesome. You, my friend, have talent. You deserve every gold star in existance, but unfortunately, I can only give you one.

And what's that I hear about the eyes not being good? Nonsense! They're spectacular. The left one is a little small, but that's a quick fix.

Your shading is fantastic. It really makes the tiger look real. However, the shading near the right eye seems a little heavy and throws off the balance of the face. Also, that same sade seems a tad squished, if you know what I mean.

In your drawing, you can clearly see where the tiger's arm (or are they called forelegs? I'm afraid I'm not really versed in tiger anatomy.) starts and where the paws begin. That makes the arms look really short and out of proportion with the rest of the body.

The ears seem small in proportion with the tiger. Maybe round them out more, or add some more "fluff" as Kamas suggested.

I also agree with Kamas about the expression. You've got the outside down; now you just have to search deeper. Yes, it's a tiger, but what of that? What are you trying to convey? Once you perfect that, you will go from talented to genius, and I don't doubt that you can accomplish that.

Excellent job. I'd like to see more of your work. =]

Amazing, completely stunning!! Did you draw this yourself? If so, you have brilliant talent! What medium did you use? it looks like ink... or lead... but I could be wrong.

Congrats,

Wow! I love this! It looks so real. The right eye is smaller and somehow differantly shaped than the other one. What did you use to draw this? pencil? charcoal? I absolutly love it and I would loooove to see more.
When all you have is nothing, there is alot to go around.

Oh my, thanks for all the critiques!
I notice some people want to know what I used to draw this, honestly, it's
just my regular pencil kit that I bought from Walmart for 3 dollars.
When I scanned it, the pencil was a little light. Thus, making it harder to see
the smaller details. So, I just used photoshop to make it a bit darker.

Hey Pink, Moo here, stopping by for a quick review.

This is pretty awesome, it reminds me of a tiger that I had drawn in my free time, except the only bit I coloured was the eyes. I think that if you coloured the eyes an icy blue in this one it would give it a nice splash of colour, but of course it still looks great how it is.

Your fur detail and shading is spot on. I like how it fades away slightly towards the tiger's body. And also, his ears are lovely. Soo fluffyyyy! :D As for the eyes, the right one looks fine, it's the left that is giving you problems. I looked at your ref, and I think if you move the pupil up and to the right ever so slightly, it will look a bit better. It's not that bad, believe me.

Well, I really loved this. *gold star* Keep drawing, kay?

:O
Wow.
That is beautiful..
I would say that it's worth trying to fix that right eye.. the mistake on that takes away from the entire picture. If you think it possible at all.. I'd do it.
Otherwise.. excellent job. I'm super jealous of your drawing skills right now. c:
