Examining

I fell so much in love with the book of Life of Pi that as soon as I landed at the part with the tiger on the lifeboat, a particulair scene popped up in my head.
So I had to draw it.

It's Richard Parker, the tiger possibly examining his fellow companion, the Indonesian boy Pi Patel who was carefully sitting on the raft, afraid to death of Rich.


Richie isn't actually sure if he means any harm to Pi. he is just examining him carefully and is about to decide what to do next.
