The Tiger's Sanctuary

Really a good work. I see the scene selection, textures, expressions being chosen skillfully. The tiger looks beautiful and the expressions drawn on its face actually looks true.

The background forest is nicely done, I like the level of depth in it.

Though you have already mention it somewhere that lighting is not your strength, this sketch shows that you have done hard-work on that too. The only problem is the level of realism in the light placed e.g one of the cones of light appears to be mild and wide but the actual light spot is bright and narrow. I believe these are minor things and you will be good in it after some practice (this sketch is old, i guess you have improved a lot already <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Wink)"/>)

Overall, this piece is done beautifully and it deserves to be in my favorites too <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>
