Description
What I drew for Eicca yesterday. 
That was close. Far too close.
Anyway...
The reference picture belongs to *HeWhoWalksWithTigers and can be found here: [link]
Go check out the tiger man's work. He's in Thailand at the moment, so his responses will probably be quite delayed, but he's an awesome guy with an amazing gallery.
Tools: .5 mechanical pencil with HB and 2B lead, HB graphite stick, kneaded eraser.... and I think that's it. O_o Oh wait, Q-tips for blending.
Time: Probably around ten-eleven hours? It's the only reason I have any pride in this piece. I don't remember working this quickly in a long time.

"Tigers are the largest of the big cats and are exclusively found in Asia from India to Vietnam, from Indonesia to the Russian Far East. The tiger can be divided into 9 subspecies: 4 are currently critically endangered and 3 are already extinct. Though estimations of tiger populations only a few years ago was 5,500-6,000, today populations are likely closer to 3,500 and are still declining. Dramatic declines of the tiger in India, thought to host the majority of the world’s tigers, have fallen to less than 1,411. Overall, the past decade has seen a 40% reduction in tiger habitat, which now represents a mere 7% of its historic range. Poaching is a significant problem throughout the tiger’s range, the demand for its body parts in traditional medicines, tonics, and exotic dishes driving a lucrative trade that is wiping out entire populations. Long-term threats include habitat fragmentation and prey depletion, which is accelerating the tiger’s demise and subsequently reducing the long-term genetic viability of many populations.
If you want to help, the best for you to do is to educate yourself ([link]), never buy products made from tigers or endangered species ([link]), and tell others. Contact me for more information." *HeWhoWalksWithTigers
