I racked my brain for a title for this one, he looks so 'inquiring' to me, as if he is asking us to come closer.He was at a zoo in St Petersberg in Florida. The photo was taken through glass, but it was very clear for me to use as a reference.
Such gorgeous specimans these animals are, and if they have to be in a zoo, it's nice to see them in an open plain area, and not in cages as they were when I was a kid. How I hated that.
Mostly done in pastel pencils, then I touched areas with my chalk pastels, the pencils just don't get enough 'oomph' for my liking.

Lol...Love the title, Rae! You really caught that look of the tiger eyeballing a human under glass. Something like me eyeballing a pork chop on a platter. :)
All your recent animal subjects are outstanding!
Hee hee, thanks Dean, glad you stopped by,

Tee hee, not sure what Kathy meant about "painting out of my head".. Maybe she means I am a little mad, and this would be true,
thanks to all for your comments.
