Very nice.  I think I have a soft spot for this kind of "sketch" style.

Wow ! Seems real ! Nice work !

I feel that searching general shapes of a model is more simple with the tablet because the rubber is cleaner than a real one on paper So you can try as many time you want without making a hole in the page ^^'

Mmh, I'm the first one to see that a foot is missing ?

This I really love! Gorgeous linework! To capture 'cougar' in so few lines is a feat, especially if you're still learning to use the tablet! Fear not, I work on a tablet every day and you DO get used to it until its as easy as pencil and paper.

looks like a mountain lion or cougar (are those the same thing?) But a beautiful sketch nonetheless!!

I love the face there. You really pay attention to true bone structures and muscles...

Very nice. :] If you're feeling awkward with a tablet, I find it's easiest to place the tablet in your lap to draw.

I do I've been using a tablet for about 10 years now - I just never really sketched with it because it took me til now to figure out there were better pen pressure settings XD I always use it to digitally colour though (except cel shading I do with a mouse)

XD Now I feel silly. That was sort of my automatic response to anything tablet-wise, since there seemed to be a sudden influx of tablet-acquiring amongst my friends. XD

Ah, settings. Poo, it always takes me at least a few days to mess with 'em whenever I get a new computer (which is sickeningly often considering how quickly I bash these machines to death). :] Good luck to you on this stuff. Love your artz. ♥

Yes I just never sketched directly in photoshop really XD I've been doing that with all the recent wips I've showed you though. It seems much faster.

Hee. XD I think it takes too much effort to draw on paper and then scan it into photoshop. So unless I'm having a bad wacom day, I usually do all my sketches on the computer.

Cool! I was wondering! Looking at this do you think you could do a tutorial for big cats? Only if you have time of course I know you must be busy!
