I don't think I've done enough tigers over the years, so here's a fix! :) Painted in 99% watercolors. The waterfall is referenced.
He's framed and will be available in the AC art show next weekend!

I absolutely agree with your statement, there should be more stripes - they're beautiful <3
At least at the last years Eurofurence art-show i really missed tigers |3 Hope that'll change this year. So, Hang up a neat white tiger at this years EF-artshow, and it'll be mine xP *shows tongue friendly*

Is it just my eyes or does he has housecat like slits instead of panthera round pupils?
Overall this is an awesome artwork, but my view for the eyes (the very first thing I always look at when seeing new artwork) and feeling for the wrong pupils kinda kills the good feeling a bit.
Can someone help me to correct my view or tell me I am right and it looks like wrong pupils?

Preventing dripping and sliding = lay the piece flat, don't prop it up. I always work flat on a table.
The piece isn't particularly large, 7x10"
Some of the brushes for the really small details like the stripes were very small, but I try to work with big round brushes in the beginning because they hold more paint/water for less refills and more uniform coverage.

I think It's actually worse to switch to small brushes to do just the edges when filling up big areas, the paint will try too much before you get around to touching up everything and then you'll get weird smudges. A nice big round brush is best because it'll load up a lot of paint and water in one go but you can still use the very tip for smaller details.
They're pretty unforgiving, so you can't make HUGE mistakes. But if you're outside the lines a little or you've had a drop of paint fall in the wrong place, especially with a lighter wash and paint that hasn't fully dried, you can go over with a wet clean brush and take some of the pigment off with that.
If you're really worried about hitting the lines just right, I could also suggest masking areas with liquid frisket. I didn't do it on this piece though, and in general try to avoid it if possible as it's a pain in the ass to peel and takes a while to dry. I use it for darker sky washes a lot because the color has to be really even and within the lines in a big area.

Sorry that I don't have time for a longer reply, driving out to anthrocon in a moment.
If it makes you feel better, there's definitely a sketch! There's actually very clean pencil lines as a base here. One of the reasons I dislike frisket is it takes a lot of the linework off with it. :P
Don't be discouraged, it's a lot of practice. I use watercolors quite often on my traditional pieces!
