Time: i think about 45 mins
Wow! You know your behind when this has been done for over like 3 months!
I really like this drawing. It combines a variety of materials to make a lovely ACEO.
I used a camera so a lot of the detail didn't show up. But trust me, this is way better in person.

Nice! Well done!
The next time you do a white tiger, look closely at the photo reference. Try to strip away the stripes in your mind. Look at the values in the white fur. You can even use a very strong blue-violet in shadows on white fur and it will still register as white -- see my recent Norwegian Forest Cat, where I mingled Undersea Green, French Ultramarine and Carbazole Violet in the shadows -- also the color of the background will reflect into the shadows strongly. On a striped white animal, highlights and shadows don't show as much within the stripes themselves.
A good technique is to sketch the stripes, know their placement, but model the cat three dimensionally with shadow colour before adding any of the stripes. This keeps the big strokes of creating large shadows from blurring or toning the small strokes of black fur. You got the stripes in beautifully on this. I can see some shading in graphite.
If you're using colored pencils the same thing applies but you can easily go right over the shadow with the dark pencils to make a mixed black, which is very potent in Prismacolors. Alternating a dark brown and Indigo Blue in the stripes while mixing a light use of Indigo with a more violet shadow color in the shadows helps give unity.
In watercolor I found it a lot easier to do the shadows first before striping, just make sure it is absolutely dry before adding stripes. This goes for spots and leopards too.
