Save the Tiger ; Watercolor painting

After two busy weeks I am back to painting. There was too much things to attend at work and home that I  I took a long time to complete the picture I started painting. It was a difficult subject too.This picture of the tiger was in a publication called Biotech news(2008) on their cover page. There was an article in this journal about conservation of Indian Tigers. I used this picture as a reference for the painting.I had kept the cutting of the picture  to paint and only now I had the confidence to start on it.I started off  with watercolor  and then used watercolor pencils. Tigers are magnificent animals . The strength and beauty of this one is reflected in the fur coat and in their eyes.I want  improve how  to do  the fur in watercolor,so my artist friends please do give your comments.  Enjoy  this magnificient animal.
