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 :P

Illustration Friday: 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 :P

    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. :P )

    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…

    Several people — Sara being the most recent — have e-mailed to ask how I go about creating my mixed media illustrations. I tried my best to write a coherent reply every time, all the while thinking to myself, “I really should blog abo…

    Yay! You posted the tiger suit piccie! Heehee… looks sooo cute!

    I like you made it grainy so it looks like crayons, and the small smudge of red on the white polo… nice effect! I’m still a photoshop newbie, so I’m heading to your next entry… the tutorial! :D
