Part 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

22.) Using a combination of Carbon Black and Dioxazine Purple (1:1) for a really ‘deep’ Black, I go back and redefine the stripes, eyes, and areas around the nose and mouth that may have been ‘obscured’ by the previous colors - in certain areas of the stripes I do not “redefine” totally, leaving parts intentionally “obscured” to promote the illusion of dimension.

23.) Removing the wax paper that was covering the background colors, I use a bit of Titanium White and Dairylide Yellow to blend the two contrasting areas by adding some highlights that blend back right up to this ‘edge.'

24.) Using Titanium White again, I add the last whiskers around the ears and muzzle.

25.) Using a brush and some Titanium White and a little Ultramarine Blue mixed with the White, I add the highlights to the eyes (mostly the Blue/White mix here) and the little tiny drops of moisture in the corner of the eyes and on the nose with just the White.

26.) Removing the wax paper covering the foreground and replacing part of the paper used to cover the Tiger originally, I begin to define this area as rock. Using a 20:1 mix of AB Medium with Carbon Black. Using a broken French curve, I roll it in my hand and keep moving it about randomly as I spray the black mixture over it; the result from this process are areas of sharp contrasts the will serve as dimension for defining this rock. (I like random patterns)
