This is an image of tiger's head looking from left to right as it peers into the darkness It was sketched using Pastels on a black Pastelmat paper.

Below are a sequence of images showing how I sketched the above Tiger's head

A light sketch followed by some work on the nape of the neck and flattened ear

I'm gradually working across the head down to the chin, whiskers and snout

The work station with my various pastels

Just the bridge of the nose to do and some highlighting of the fur
