How many feathers one needs..

.. to fly.


Okay, this is a special moment for me. This picture is one of my most precious drawings. I made the sketch back in 2007 and kept working on this for nearly three years. I don't know how many times I erased the background, deleted the colouring etc. I started this drawing when my mum heard her best friend had cancer. How many feathers one needs to fly? What does it take to reach your goal. What does it take for a human to be happy? I don't know, but sometimes, it's less than you think. Strange, I've been looking forward to show this to you guys for so long, but I'm out of words to explain the drawing. So I'll just say: enjoy. Comments are appreciated.

P.S. May fix some things ~Kaylink (who is awesome) pointed out to me earlier, when I asked her for advice. This will include things such as the shape of the tigers head and adding some snow to the rocks.

He looks soo fluffy makes me wanna hug him.
I love the pose  and his face-focusing on where too jump.
And the title is so creative too.
And I really love how you kept the focus just on him and a small part of the  rock and you kept the big snowy mountains a little blurry so that he pops out.
I cant even find the words to describe how beautiful this looks.
Your skills  are amazing just keep it up.
