Hi Everyone,

You can see in the photo below that I have now gone over most of the Tiger Painting, blocking in and also adding the under texture of the fur. Most of this stage wont be visible in the final painting, but it gives me the perfect base to build upon and compare colours etc

Learn to paint wildlife - Step-by-Step Tutorial

Here is a quick learn to paint wildlife tutorial - Painting a Lion's eye
It shows very briefly my wildlife painting techniques - hope some find it useful
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ok 1st image shows the pencil outlines plus the very initial scrubbing in of some colour - burnt sienna and burnt umber / black



This 2nd image shows the continuation of the blocking in, it's a searching time ie I am constantly squinting my eyes, looking at the reference for the major shapes and tones and also colours. Constantly comparing one part to the next.



Everything is blocked in now (below).



Here I am just re-establishing the darks and touching up areas. But notice how the eye still looks lifeless at this point.






Just the beginnings of a highlight and already there is some life starting.






Here I have added more highlight, remember the brightest white dot is the sun so the lighter areas is the reflection of the blue sky, I have therefore made the highlight a light blue, not white. The sunlight that hits the eye also travels through the eye, so the area directly below the highlight is also lighter.



If you enjoyed this demo then don't forget there are lots more on my tutorial site - www.jasonmorgan.co.uk
