Sleeping Tigers!

"Let sleeping dogs lie" - that goes for tigers, too
Don't try to wake them up, with a shake or two
Tigers in a heap?
Best to let them sleep!
Tigers wake up hungry - and you're good to chew

My method is to find, or stumble upon, a scene in geometric 3D spheres that I tweak and light. Then I make up a little story, if I can, to go with it. In this scene from inside a 3D sphere, I used a stencil to slice up the interior. The resulting stripes took on the face of a tiger when I adjusted the lens distortion. I didn't have to draw it. I didn't even know what to expect! That's the fun of discovery. Once I decided it was a sleeping tiger, I added the orange color, and wrote this little rhyme. It's the type of Mother Goose rhyme that my mom used to read to me in her dramatic voice at bedtime.
