ART EXPLOSION CONTEST - PAINTING of TIGER

Hello everyone after some time!

Last week I couldn't find a contest or challenge, which suits me. But in the last minute I found ART EXPLOSION CONTEST from @juliakponsford and I was excited about the topic - animals.

For some time I wanted to try digital painting of some majestic animal. The close look in their eyes always fascinated me and that's why I chose to paint only its head.

One of these fascinating beasts is a tiger.

It was very detailed work and it took me a few hours to manage the perfect look of fur.

In the gif I made you can see every step/layer I did.

It is very important to paint blurry colored areas first before you start with painting hair after hair of its fur. Here I am adding a picture of fur without the blurry backround I made in the beginning. So you can imagine how many brush strokes I had to do to get this look.

Without and with the blurry backround.
