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.
Cute kitty! Love his big head!

Calvin & Hobbes = A-dorable. O_o
looks hand-painted to me. how’d you do that effect? i’ve been wanting to know for such a long time now. (photoshop noob speaking!)
it’s so cute! i really hope i could draw. *cries*

)
Awww, he’s so cute!
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.” [...]
Adorable! I love the textured feel to it.
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…
That is totally adorable! *checks out the tutorial!*
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!
