White Ink Tiger

here's my first image for 2009, but actually it's started last year but got finished only now...
on the screen it doesn't look like much, but when you see the real drawing you can actually see the tiger move
this kind of pictures are not destined to be viewed big scaled or from up close because you would see a lot of dots which do not make a lot of sens for the ordinary eye... but for those who are familiar with this technique and actually do this practically know what i am talking about...
i used a google image for the overall stripe pattern, but the rest is all my shading, or should i say doting
i take this as a study in order to see how the layout and density of the dots influence the overall pattern and feel of the whole image...
i hope you will enjoy this as much as i enjoyed doing it

done with a 1.0mm and a 0.1mm Rotring Xonox Liner on an A4 normal paper
