Just realizing I never got to finalizing and posting this piece...
after approx. five months of having it pretty much finished!

As with the title, this painting is very dear to me. Not only have
 I never digitally drawn a tiger before, but we printed this piece out
twice as birthday presents for both of my grandpas (from both
my mom and dad's sides)! They share the Tiger Chinese zodiac, so
there was no question what animal to include in this fluffy portrait~

Honestly, it is easy to look back and quickly notice mistakes in this piece,
but I am still happy with the outcome. I can remember being torn over
(background) colour choices and spending grueling hours (mainly at
school during break xD) to detail this tiger and get those stripes correct,
more or else, before my parents would fly overseas to bring this present
over

I rambled a bit But if you read all of that, I'll thank you again!
