I am gonna start this sometime this week. First, i will draw him out on paper. so i used gimp to draw a grid around him to help me with the form and to help get the eyes and nose and the stripes in the right places. a grid like this can help you do complex shapes. now he is a much easier, in my mind, to draw. some of the guess work of where to start the eyes, or nose has now been taken away to some degree. I feel a little better about it now. I only have 3 days to work this week because of the thanksgiving holiday. so i am kinda hoping to do this picture some time this week. i will share my progress, good or bad, as i go along. hope you enjoy watching this tiger painting. oh yea, i will draw him with pencil and paper to start with, but he will be redone and finished in gimp.
Here's the grid picture i will work from.
