Tiger Original Dark Charcoal Drawing

This is my original Tiger drawing. I made this couple of months ago. Personally this is my favourite i have ever done.
I havent counted my works, but i suppose i have made more than 20 Tiger drawings. And this one is without doubt my best. It took me more than a year to really develop certain skill i can say, to make those highlight spots on a tigers face.
I remember like it was yesterday, how i spent more than 10 hours, just drawing a nose. Either its a Tiger or a Lion, nose takes more hours to do than anything else. I really worked on details on this one, to make the nose look as realistic as possible.
