Thank you everyone - I really appreciate the positive feedback. I'm going to take him down to the framers next week and see about getting him framed. It'll probably mean I have to sell my soul or something, but I'm really pleased with the way this one has turned out. Thank you Dennis for a brilliant class! 

Cheers

Here is my Tiger. Please let me know if there is something that I can improve on. I used pastel pencils and pan pastels. On Pastel paper.

Nina....excellent job.  It's beautiful!  Get it in a frame, quick.  I love the shading and the color.  He looks like a photograph.
How do you like the pan  pastels?  Do you use a brush to apply it?  This is a beautiful painting.

Nina,

Beautifiul fur, eyes, markings.

I was distracted by the darkish yellow behind the tongue.  Not sure why it's that color, not ever having looked in a tiger's mouth.  I see everyone else used it, too, maybe just not so bright a shade.

Feel very proud of this!!
