12.) Using a 20:1 mix of AB Medium to Carbon Black, I use this 'tinting' mix to further extend the black areas and ‘shade’ where appropriate.

13.) To further extend the under painting of the darkest values of the Tiger, I have move to Raw Umber, and stroke in the darkest areas of fur in the paw in the foreground, around the nose and the areas around the eyes.

14.) I lighten the value of the Raw Umber with a bit of Titan Buff and continue to stroke in more defined areas of the fur texture in and around the ears, in the ruff of the mane, and further extend the detail in the shoulder and paw in the foreground.

15.) At this point I use Paynes Gray to add further shadow depth around the eyes, as well as all other areas that would be perceived with depth (in the ear, those parts of the paw that would be furthest away, where the body goes behind the rock in the foreground, etc.)

16.) Using a base of 10 drops Titanium White, I start with one drop of Burnt Sienna, and begin working in the area of the nose - as I continue I add a couple more drops of Red Oxide, then a couple drops Raw Umber, then one drop Dioxazine Purple and finally one drop Carbon Black until I have completely defined the nose with each successive color variation.
