RIDING THE TIGER / process

I start by sketching a lot of different takes.

Several iterations of an idea, & I think I'm finally getting what's in my head onto paper. I was caught up in "reality" at the expense of "spirit". I can do reality some other time; let my 1st project of 2022 be ALL SPIRIT.

Of course, the eyes are always the most fun, and set the tone for everything else!

The final image!
Happy Year of the Tiger!
