Lion Portrait Face Detail

As promised, here’s the detail on the lion’s face. I feel like there’s so much expression in the eyes of both animals and humans. If you don’t get it right, the portrait can seem flat and lifeless.

Old Preliminary Sketch

Found this old sketch the other day while I was cleaning up and sorting through supplies and old sketchbooks. I have a thing for big cats and an absolute soft spot for tigers.

Testimonials

Our pets become part of the family. “Keo-boy”, my siamese, was just a month shy of 20 yrs old. It was very difficult when I had to put him down. It was so hard that I even had him cremated. Myra surprised me with a picture of him, which sits in my bedroom til this day. “Babe” followed “Keo” & if you know a bit about Maine Coons you know they have long beautiful hair with striking patterns. She surprised me one Xmas with a portrait of the big boy. I can’t believe it is done with only pencil. She captured every detail perfectly. I have known Myra all her life, as I am her auntie. She has always had a knack for drawing. At 4, she even placed her artwork on my white leather chair! I have seen her develop into a fantastic artist. I will treasure my works of art forever.
