Illustration Friday: Suit
This little fella is my interpretation of this week’s Illustration Friday topic, suit. Tigers are such handsome animals, and I thought a cartoon tiger would look cute in a suit. It was partially inspired by a Calvin & Hobbes comic strip where Hobbes dressed up in a tie for Susie — but mostly I just wanted to draw a tiger in a suit 
As usual I drew the outline on paper then did the coloring on Photoshop. The original sketch was a full-body picture, but I had to stop inking because the pen dried out, and the only other pen I had was twice as thick. Methinks I need to buy more pens

Colored in Photoshop? It actually looks like you colored it using good ‘ol crayons. Great job! xD The tiger looks very sharp.
Calvin & Hobbes = A-dorable. O_o

I’d love to be able to do illustrations! That looks adorable. That’s the only problem with doing art though - the resources are expensive and run out far too quickly. (Or perhaps I just use them to excess.

I remember the particular comic strip of Calvin & Hobbes you’re referring to, astoundingly enough, and I can see the parallels between your creation and Hobbes’s suit. It’s well-executed, great job.

[…] and Nikki made me realize it. She made a new illustration yesterday and posted it in her website for everyone to go ga-ga over. Well in my case, it mostly went like this: “Oh, crap. Why can’t I draw like that? I hate her so much! *imagines strangling Nikki* Hmm, maybe I should copy this and pass it off as my work.” […]

Coloring with Adobe Photoshop…
