Just make sure you wait until it dries before sitting on it. :p

Maybe it's the Gillette tiger. That would be a reason for no whiskers. *sings*Gillette! The best a tiger can get...*stops singing, throws super ball as a distraction and ducks behind something*

OK, seriously...I like the painting. Except for the eyes for some reason. To me they look like she/he is a cross eyed. Maybe it's just me.

It could be the angle of his head. I will watch it think on it.

Even if it is cross eyed, it's better than I could do with a year to get it right.

You really do have talent. I hope you know that.

Wow, you really captured the lighting wonderfully! I was looking at the picture trying to figure out the problem with it, then I read the mention of whiskers. Yep, that's what's missing :) Great job!

There's something with the nose that's throwing me... maybe too much white space on the right side... not sure...

Anyways, looks gorgeous... very realistic...

I have debated about darkening the nose a bit.

actually i think your painting technique is really good! it seems to me that the sketch you started with needed to be worked on a lil more before you started with the paint and thats whats causing you problems now

it seems to me that the sketch you started with needed to be worked on a lil more before you started with the painthuh ( ... )

it's driving you bonkers isnb't it :OP
ok i thought you had a pencil sketch under the paint and whati was trying to say is that the eyes and nose are placed a lil wierd and if you had changed the pencils a lil it would have dramatically changed what you have now. but if i was wrong about the pencils being there then just slap me in the head and forget i said anything ;OP

no pencil my teacher convinced me to try to sketch the base of the tiger with paint. I could see some of the problem I would have had with pencil due to the darkness of the backround.

here's a question artist to artist. do you think if I expanded the black on the eye (the near eye) on the nose side upward a little it might rise the nose line a bit. and I will add some gray and whitish to give it a shiny sheen. Hmm I wonder if that makes sense.

of course being acrylic I can always add it and if it doesn't work then I can always re-whiten it.
