the white tiger of the west

Master artist copy. I did not design it. All I did was redraw a googled image on 14*17 bristol board. Materials, archival ink pens, ink (black), cheap watercolors (indigo, red, blue), and water.

Art class homework assignment that deals with ink washes. Tested out a water color technique that I never really used, that is to put water onto the paper first, then mix colors. (Yeah, I didn't know cause no one ever told me and I'm too noob to figure out myself.)

One thing, ink washes only work with archival ink cause if you use ballpoint pen (aka cheap ink) it'll just bleed all over the paper. And, I tried standing on a chair this time to take a straight photo...apparently I fail at taking photos again so it is kind of distorted.

Critique welcome in notes. I kept the full-size image very, very big so you can see the details/mistakes.
