Tiger Eye Drawing

I was playing with my Staedtler Mars Lumograph pencils today. I abhor anything remotely related to blending or smearing outside of the pencil itself so watercolor paper is my preferred paper. Well not today. I had some bristol board laying around here for over a year that hasn't gotten any love, mainly because of the smooth texture. I decided to give it a whirl. The result is this tiger eye. Hair is a lot easier on watercolor for me versus bristol because I have to make the texture on it using alternative means such as my exacto knife to get something workable. It's ok I guess...more practice (and back to domestic cats!).
