Tiger

Pen & Ink 

8 1/2″ x 11″

Several years ago, I had a serious accident which immobilised me for a long time.

As I was unable to move very much, I started drawing to keep occupied.

This is the first of a series of pen and ink drawings done during that time.

The tiger is from a photograph, but the background is all from imagination.

I used sepia ink to give a softer effect, rather than black ink.

It was tedious and time consuming work. but I enjoyed every moment of it.

The drawings enabled me to rise above my physical restrictions and greatly helped my path to recovery.
