One night I couldn't get any sleep even though I wanted, desperately. I chose not to stay in bed any longer. I probably ate something before I took my pencil and started sketching a tiger.
It looked so terrible I almost felt ashamed.
I opened wikipedia and searched some pictures of different tigers and poses.
I don't remember well was it supposed to be like it is now but I do remember it was originally supposed to be jumping from fire or something like that. But I cannot draw fire and it looks nice like this anyway....

Then I had to think of the colouring and striping.
Somebody might even had noticed I like albinos and the white versions of some coloring. But to be precice I like the colours to be inverted so it doesn't have to be necessarily white base....
Therefore this became white striped black tiger. The stripes on the head are more of my imagination because the tiny stripes and dots were too difficult.

At the beginning I thought, like always, to ink the lines and such but this time it was so fun to do just pencil work for a change.
Darkened digitally because scanner cannot see clearly.
