Comments

Lovely Adele. Nice intensity in the eyes. Looks like it means business.

Whooo... this tiger is great! Lots of expression round the eyes. Not so benign this one... :-)

Thanks Henry and Yvette. The shape of the head looks a bit weird to me.

Adele, this is NOT so 'oh dear', in fact it's very good. I couldn't do this.

Now this tiger does'nt look so cuddly as the last one, the eyes are warning you off. Lovely colours.

You should still be very proud of it Adele, I certainly would. Lovely eyes.

Don't be so harsh, this is a pretty decent pussy cat Adele.

Great work Adele. I like it more than number 2.

Wow, and I thought "shall I put them on"? Lovely comments - thanks very much. Yes, I think this one is more plausible. Am reminded of our speech and drama teacher quoting "Boy on tiger, smile of joy - smile on tiger, goodbye boy"! Funny how you remember certain things 50 years on.
