Lion WIP #5


Lion.  28 x 42cm  on  Waterford & Bockingford drawing paper 300gsm

The finish is slowing coming.   I get so attached to these beautiful majestic animals that I never want to finish as they then come off the drawing board.  I have been working on the hair and the features a little more. The bottom of the drawing is to be done yet which shouldn't take too long.  

An  Arty weekend to you all.

Hi Dors.
I don`t know why I haven`t visited your blog before now, but I am glad that I have now. I often see your name on other Artist`s blogs, but until now, I haven`t visited. Dors, you are brilliant Artist and draughtsman ( Or should I say, Draughtswoman? ) I am now a follower of yours. All the best Dors.
Vic.

He is looking great. You have really captured his sense of power and given him quite a regal look. I love the way you developed the background as well, nice touch.
