Happy Year of the Tiger

Happy Lunar New Year, if you celebrate! 

Let it be known that I find tigers very difficult to draw. I studied several nature documentary clips to eke out this one sketch. 

In my research, I learned that tigers are the largest of the big cats and that they have webbed paws, which make them strong swimmers.  This as nothing to do with the Chinese zodiac; I just think it's cool.

Thanks for reading!

I am a Water Tiger myself. I sure hope this is the year we finally kick this pandemic in the pants! Maybe the tiger can take care of it for us.
