On my sister's birthday, today, I gift this Tiger to her - for she likes "my tiger" a lot!!
As usual this took hours for me to complete.. And hours for me to darkern the lines... To the say the truth.. I got too immersed in darkening and found that my pencil had become half its original size only at the end!! Anyways it has come out well!! Am really thankful to my extra dark Apsara pencil... [;)].
When I was darkening the lines, I felt the need of Flash!! Flash is really awesome in that aspect.. You just click on a line.. The whole continuous line gets selected.. Then it is a just a matter of changing the thickness in a small box associated with line properties!! Similarly the color of the lines tooo... Jus at the click of a button!! But here.. manually shading and darkening the lines is really painful.. Softwares have enhanced the art a lot.. there by spoiling the originality a bit even!! [;)]..
The biggest thing I was too scared about was the eyes!! Right from the day one when I started drawing, my mother always asks me to draw the eyes at the end... And also to concentrate on it.. As.. In art.. Eyes speaks much than anything.. Its the eyes one should take mare care of.. I was praying that, this ferocious animal's eyes should bring in fear!! Happily I came out well!! I like the small twinkle in its eyes.. Awesome really!! In my own slang.. "Gumaaltic-a daal adikkudhu!!!". What if I had drawn it in such a way that it made this tiger laughing?? [:(]
But when I compare this with "my tiger".. Well.. my tiger's eyes always smile.. It's been said that my tiger smiles even during sleep.. I dunno.. I need to confirm that!! [;)]. But too many possibilities of it to happen as it smiles for every other reason!! Comparing this tiger with mine, I could find one more thing different.. The fat content.. Well.. This tiger seems too be like walking after a heavy meal!! My tiger.. ipch... too lean... a malnutrition baby it is!! So sad!! I tried all possible measures to make it fat.. Ipch.. No way it seems.. A lean malnutrioned smiling Tiger it is!!! Hey.. The tail... mine is longer!! I mean.. my tiger's is much longer than this one's!!

Which tiger are u referring to in the last para? In the first few lines, looks like your talking abt someone n in the final lines abt something else.
