Description Many thanks to Cathy Sheeter for providing me with a reference photo

I find myself exasperated when it comes to endangered animals and how people treat them and their attempts to revive the species. In China, tigers are bred successfully but nothing is done to restore the habitat that they once roamed, leaving these tigers to know nothing but being cages and trained to entertain people. 
My goal is to educate and restore faith in endangered species with my artistic talent.

I have them available for print for at My Society6

*-* Your inking is gorgeous. Whenever I add color, it always makes it look cartoonish.

Thank you! However this is done on Scratchboard, so I'm technically removing ink. And stay strong, It looks like you're already halfway there with your work, but continue with studies from photographs and from life, try different methods, mix them. You may be surprised with your results.

So you mean you scratch, add ink, then scratch more off to dull the color?

Uhmm. Not exactly. The one on the right is done with scratchboard, nothing fancy, if I mess up I do repair with ink and scratch back over the ink. The colored one on the right is scanned and colored digitally. I'm quite nervous to try adding color into the actual scratchboard but I have the inks and have watched wonderful instructional demos so I'll give it a try soon.

Oooooooh! Yeah, I add the ink right on the scratchboard! It's very nerve-wracking! Haha! It looked like you had it mastered!

It sure can be, specially if the ink its shiny and its such a big contrast. X.X But thank you, I've gotten and watched the masters of the trade.

Haha, yeah, I hate how it makes it real shiny compared to the background.

I haven't tried Ampersand's Repair Ink yet, but I hear it handles well and isnt nearly as shiny. Have you tried it?

Yeah, I use Ampersand for all my inking so I can't compare to other inks. It does cause a really bad shine in my opinion, but I guess it's not as bad as others? I just try avoid using it at all costs. x.x
