The big cats have always fascinated me. They are such elegant species. I remember how I used to try to get close to the cages of these giant beasts when Circus Troupes used to keep them out in the open for transportation. I never imagined there would come a time when people would have to camp for days in the sanctuaries to get a glimpse of these wonderful creations of nature.
Both these works were made on Facebook's grafitti application and remained in top graffiti of the respective weeks.There is a simple trick in making amazing looking animal (those which have fur) portraits.

Fill the area with thin lines taking care of the lighting. The best thing about making furry animals is that there wont be any difficulty in merging colors because the desired effect is thin stokes rather than smooth finish. Even after the fur has been drawn one might notice some areas where the lighting is still not accurate. That tends to happen when you keep changing the shade you are drawing with. To adjust the tone I used a large brush set at minimum opacity and painted over the fur.

Drawing animals and capturing the beauty of nature is a wonderful experience, looking forward to making some more in the near future. Please leave a comment about what you think about my post. Any questions or queries are most welcome.

TECHNIQUE
Starting off with an outline, I started highlighting the areas which appear brighter in the image. Then comes drawing the fur, which is the part I like the most. Making the fur can be done immensely casually because you do not need to give it a finished look. The smaller the brush size the better and the strokes have to be free flowing. Keeping in mind the direction of strokes because that decides how convincing the end result looks. But some areas like the eyes and the mouth needed proper detailing.Click on the play button to watch the replay of the process:
