These tigers are from a time when I was trying out what I could do with colored pencils. White pencil on brown paper made me think differently about drawing - the brown was already a color to work with...or around. I made a note on the first tiger drawing shown that it took me three hours to do. It takes lots of careful and small strokes for me to get the texture I want with colored pencil. I'm not very good at laying out a drawing in advance - I like to get going and then see how things turn out, but it was hard to put ten or more hours into a piece before I realized that my proportions looked kooky.
