Sentinel Original Graphite on Paper
A fierce gaze holds you in place. In Sentinel, a tiger emerges from the page with quiet power. He is watchful, commanding, and unmistakably alive. Rendered entirely by hand in graphite, every whisker, stripe, and shadow is carefully built stroke by stroke, capturing both the raw intensity and the fragile majesty of one of the wild's most iconic guardians. This piece was created as a meditation on what we stand to lose; a portrait of a sentinel standing watch over a vanishing world.
