Hi friend. If I may ask on a personal note. Just for interest sake. How long would it normally take you to complete a painting like this?
And how do you gaze
WAU ! you make me start painting again! can you write which (mark)quality acryllic colors do you use? thx!
I’m 78 and have painted since about 10. I’ve had no professional training so I just loved this video, it has taught me so much. I hope to continue my painting until I take my last breath and will continue to watch your videos. Thank you so much.
❤
The same here!!!
Don't really have training for Art it's just how your skill is and how u progress over time.
Such a beautiful tiger!!!!❤❤❤❤
Layers, layers, layers, that's what I learned from this video. Thank you!
I’m so sorry, I accidentally hit the thumbs down icon. Why would I or anyone in their right mind give you a thumbs downs when you do such brilliant work like this. Only the very best of high praises for you. Amazing 👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️
Loll you know that you can tap the dislike button again and it will go away right
😅😅
How dare you
@@McKurdi I did do that and Maude the corrections 😢

Your glazing technique using layers and the layers in the iris of the eyes! ❤ It all comes back around to patience and details. Thank you for your fabulous videos.
Always appreciate full real time tutorials. And Hey, could you please, provide the reference photo you used?. I find tutorials with reference photo very helpful because you don't just watch someone paint and try to replicate them, you also learn why they do what they do and you start to pick up ways to interpret the references and how to translate them into the painting. Which you can't do if there is no reference even though there's a lot of good tips already.
The glazing process is a super tip 👍
I like the transparency using layers in the eyes.
Most helpful video for beginners
I just found your painting tutorials. I’ve been painting for 30 years and no one has ever shown me how to do fur like you did .. it was absolutely amazing. I just love it and I love your kingfisher bird and all the videos I’ve watched thus far.
I didn’t realise just the depth that can be achieved by layers and glazing, and adding details in a seemingly random way. The effect of the whole is breath taking. Having so many excellent tips throughout your process makes me believe I could achieve a believable animal too, especially the fur details.
Neither did i, so it was very inspirational watching him work with the eye. I really made i come alive! On my next monster art, im going to work hard on the eyes. :P
Amazing work the eye brings the painting to life
First time watching. My husband and I are retired and are going to watch a video a night just for the meditation value; when the Leafs aren't playing that is! Nice to find you🫠
I've struggled with getting white paint to show up over a darker background. Your video showed me how you gradually build up a lighter base using blues, ochres and yellows to make different shades of gray and then keep layering with lighter and lighter shades. This makes your highlights pop and seem very realistic. I'm a little intimidated to try this tutorial right now, but hope to build up some more experience and then give it a go. Thanks so much for posting this video. It was very helpful!
Awesome video, thank you very much!
Love the detail in the eye
Amazing. Makes me want to try painting
Absolutely great sir❤️❤️
Great lesson, thank you!
Also the tip I found most helpful was “it’s going to get worse before it gets better.” And also that you don’t have to be strict about working dark to light all the time and that glazing can change everything.
Glad you liked it! And Thank you!
You are truly THE artist ❤️
Many thanks for explaining about glazes. The final addition of the long loose hairs was very insightful.
Love it.. I found the glazing technique specifically helpful..thank you.
I heard of glazing but never realized that it makes acrylic look so good! I will definitely try it the next time I'm using acrylics! Thanks for all the great tips!
The way you described it is wonderful. ❤ I will try and see if I can paint like this or not 😅
You got it!! 👍
it's perfect thank you.
The tip I found most interesting is the way that you put in the layers upon layers in the eye build up and the stands of stray hairs at the end never thought of doing those. Thank you for showing these tips
Stunning :)
That’s amazing tiger’s eye 👍🏻🐯
Hello , thanks for this excellent painting vidéo see you later my friend
The best UA-cam channel to learn the tricks of paint wild animals 👏🏻
I thought the layering of the fur was the most useful. Great painting.
i love how you push and pull the details in the eye, you show that you don't have to be afraid do to what you feel, you can always know it back if needed
Wow, the way you make the eye come to life, is amazing. I will definitely be using those glazing techniques. hopefully I can get somewhere near your level. amazing watching the painting come to life. all the best, and thanks for the lesson.
Glazing was the tip that stood out to me. I’m starting to wrap my head around that. Thanks so much!
Wow😮😮
This is awesome ❣️🎨🌞
Would love to see a full body tiger tutorial ❤
Fantastic! The best tip for me was you saying it will get worse before it gets better.
It has inspired me to try painting again and to not give up so readily. Excellent tutorial.
The tip I found most useful is about the highlights in the eye and how it's not just blobs but actually captures the surroundings such as the trees and the sky
Beautiful, I love how there is a picture within a picture with the tigers eye. It's so generous of you to share so much about your process and method.
I love this one. The multiple layers and glazing are such good advice. Lots of patients, but what a masterpiece.
The most helpful idea I got out of this amazing video was the layering technique. Love your work!
Such a beautiful piece! The most helpful tips were the glazing and shadowing of the eye !!!
You r soooooo genius 🧿🧿
fantastic! to be honest the whole video was helpful . well worth watching :) but the way you showed how to do the eye ball itself was great tips
Agree 100%
I love all the attention to the little details that bring a nice sense of realism to the painting. Thanks for the sharing your techniques, very inspirational.
I just discovered your channel after painting for 51 yrs. I cannot believe the 'ah ha' moment I had with this Tiger's eye. The layering and glazing... the effect was outstanding!!! I cannot wait to try it! You are awesome and a GREAT instructor.
I'm very impressed with this video and painting tutorial step-by-step video.
Thanks for sharing..
Awesome 🤩👍
Thank you for sharing, I really struggle with fur and only get to the point of laying down the shadows and highlights. I then try to paint the strands of fur and like you said I am one of those that will paint the strands the same way. I definitely need to practise, but your video has given me the confidence to keep trying. Thank you again for another great video😊
Wow! Great video. Thank you. The amount of layers you put in the eye was surprising and most helpful!
Tip I found Useful in regards to painting fur is the darker/shadow strands are just as important as the lighter...
Thank you so much. The glazing was sooo helpful. Especially the eyes. Greatings from Cape Town friend.
The tip I found most useful is the process of adding lighter color fur then glazing then repeat. The realism and depth it creates is so beautiful!
The details in those eye reflections are fantastic!
I enjoyed the glazing techniques you used in this video. Thank you for sharing all the techniques in real time. Super helpful! What an impressive talent you have.
Glazing!!! It’s incredible watching the painting be built up layer by layer, and then glazed to reach the right color and and shift the value little amounts at a time. Thank you for sharing! I also really appreciate you naming each color as you mix them.
Just loved every bit of this. Fabulous 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Not fully done watching yet, but just finished watching you doing the details in the eye and I am blown away!! Also, now confident that I can achieve this as well and am grateful for discovering glazing (through your channel and others who also paint wildlife). Glazing has been such a game changer for me and I feel so much more confident that I can always go back and 'fix' things.
The tip I found most useful was the depth of glazing over the lighter colour 😊 thank you
I love watching the glazing layers and enjoyed seeing your mixing process. Vibrant animal eyes are just the best!
Loved this progression. Thanks for sharing that piece!
It’s hard to choose between the eye details and the glazing, both of which have inspired me to have a go. Thank you for the inspiration.
Hello, I'm in the process of doing an acrylic painting of a monkey and was stuck on how to do the fir in layers. Your technique is a great idea. I will give it a try and let you know how it goes. My favorite part was the eye. I wasn't sure how you were going to get the lines to look realistic, but WOW!!! I was very impressed with the final look. Well done. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hi I had to sit and watch all of this in one go I just couldn’t stop myself. The two main things for me were the glazing advice and the eye. Each time you added a detail I was entranced, and that reflection was amazing I have never seen that before 😮. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us 🥰
Fantastic work as usual Daniel, thank you so much for sharing your process. I found your emphasis on adding randomness to the paint strokes to be a great reminder not to lose focus on achieving a natural looking line. Especially while getting bogged down with the repetitive, almost mechanical, process of laying so down many strokes!
Being relatively new to acrylics I was also amazed at the effectiveness of placing the initial fur strokes in white and then colour glazing/washing them! WOW… so darn effective! Far too many people out there still suggest that acrylics are no good for glazing. Thank you once again.
Love this tutorial! my favourite tip is painting the fur with a light cream then glazing more accurate and rich colours on top!
Great video! The tip that helped me the most was the use of a variety of brushes to get the desired effect. Same fur, but different brushes to give the impression of realism. Fantastic!
Great painting, I wish more videos were taken when mixing colors on the detailing part. I'll be referencing your video for my visual arts class.
Wowwwwww, amazing sending All Loooove to u ❤️🙏
I will definitely pick up my acrylics paints again after seeing this tutorial. This got me inspired again. Thank you!
I've watched this video several times now and I have to say that the most impactful thing for me has been the tip you gave on reflections in the eyes. Such a little thing but makes a huge difference. Thank you so much for sharing your work with us!
Excelente pintura esta genial 😮
I love your video's, easy to follow especially for a beginner such as myself. The most helpful tip ? Well all of them but I must say it is wonderful how you take your time and go into detail and allow us to stop and understand. So much to learn !!!!
Incredible talent!! The tip I found most useful is the layering. So many, many colors to ultimately reach the realistic orange and white of a tiger. Fantastic job! ❤
You gave lots of great tips here, but the final random strokes in very light and very dark colors is one I will add to all my future wildlife paintings.
Loved the blue as underpainting for white. Thank you for the eye coloring technique
Carol w
Amazing😍👍
The tip I appreciated the most pertained to the eye itself - the note to add slightly lighter-colored, wispy marks radiating out from the pupil, then slightly darker-colored marks radiating out from the lighter layer, surrounded by the lightest-colored lines radiating out into the bottom of the eye. Most of the color changes are quite subtle but the contrast and depth really pull the viewer straight to the pupil, even that part of the eye is in shadow! I used to really struggle with big cat eyes in the past, so this sincerely helps. I absolutely love this piece, thank you so much for sharing this tutorial! ❤
Love the glazing, you just opened up a new world for me!!! ❤
This process was simply AMAZING to watch. I am new and painting my Yorkie, and these techniques will help me greatly. Thank you. ❤
A captivating image and a beautiful result. Acknowledging that there are awkward stages when developing an image, and just to watch this video as you just keep going past that stage is the most instructive tip for me. Thank you for sharing your experience and the working process in real time.
All the little detail in the eye as well as the way the glazing adds that extra touch of detail in the shadows and highlights was extremely helpful to see. Thank you so much for showing us this! I'm inspired!
Glassy eye glazes for more alive paints! That is epic and I'm going to try it! 🎉
The tips I found most helpful were the ones that show how you create the glassy look on the eye.
I've always drawn pictures with pencils and ink. I tried painting a few times and been very discouraged by it. Watching your process makes me feel encouraged to try again. Thank you.
The tip I found the most useful was shadowing the top of the eye, and glazing the eye to make the colours really pop.
The colour depth of the eye and the precise reflections are my favourite, I've never known about glazing in painting, but I'm going to start doing it..😊
My favorite tip was putting shadow at the top of the eye and light at the bottom of the eye. You mentioned you do this despite what the lighting looks like in the reference photo. It makes the eye come to life and more realistic. I think the eyes are one of the most important features and it’s what grabs peoples attention. I’ll be trying this in my next painting
I learned a lot Sir thank you
Just started this art journey need to destress, but nothing special just a spooky the cat and now finishing of mr moon.
I never knew there was so many rinse and repeats (layers) to painting beautiful animal art, especially fur; now I have a better understanding why, and a deeper appreciation of patience.
Thanks Daniel for the hard work you do as an artist, and your YT channel 😊
Fantastic detail - the tip I'm going to take away and try in my next piece is the layering detail via glazing.
Absolutely amazing ! I have collected plenty of tigers photos to start animal painting but never could do. I am 77 and too late to start acrylic painting. However , I enjoy watching your work.
I enjoyed you showing me how to glaze in real time! Thanks
Beautiful work! The tip I found most helpful is the focus on shadow work (both glazing and detailing) to create layers and depth to the fur, and that light detailing can be less prominent in comparison but still be effective.
Hey Daniel,
thanks for this video!
I liked the tip, that the color does not need to be perfect directly. You can glaze color over it until it looks good.
I‘m thinking about painting this tutorial too.
Elias D.
i like this tipe of videos ...
Brilliant tutorial, stunning work. Thank you.
