Well, I felt I really needed to get some practice at good watercolor backgrounds. I also felt like drawing myself a tiger. So, because I know Goldenwolf is an amazing artist, and good with watercolors, I decided to use her picture - http://goldenwolf.deviantart.com/art/The-Wind-Tree-3798608 - as reference for this image.

Normally I don't upload practices and reference pictures as so, but I am really proud of this one. I followed Goldenwolf's guidelines for referencing her art for this one, note the copyright at the bottom of the picture. I am definately going to use what I learned with this piece on future original works.
