Tiger drawing update

Lots of layering of graphite later the facial markings of my new tiger drawing are in place and I'm ready to begin building the tone on the cats face and constructing the head.The hardest part (for me) of any cat drawing are the ears because of the complexity of fur and the depth within and  I always take a great deal of time to try and make them look convincing and after a couple of days work on them in the studio I'm happy that ive achieved all that I could.i hope youre enjoying watching this piece come together.
