Snow Burst

An Amur Tiger charging through the snow

This image of an Amur Tiger exploding into a sudden charge has been sketched using the medium of soft and hard Pastels on a PastelMat paper.

Below are a sequence of images showing how I sketched the above Amur Tiger

I began by lightly sketching in the outline features of the charging tiger

I then added a cold blue background with titanium white for the snow.

I also added a fir in the background before then starting on the tigers right flank & ear

Here I'm adding the bits of flying snow whilst working from my no 1 Easel

I then worked down the forelegs then up the chest to its muzzle and ruff

I then worked in the details of the tigers back legs and then added it's piercing eyes

I'm now just adding some soft fur highlights to the bridge of its nose
