Description Birthday present for my brother, who is a Leo. His birthday is in a few weeks, I'm hoping to get it printed and sent to my mom, who said she would frame it for him. He doesn't have much art for his apartment.

Took maybe... eight hours? I meant it to be a speed painting in photoshop, but I got interested in the details and then I kept going.

Thank you! It was a lot of single hairs, but the bulk of it was just a fuzzball brush.

Aww, thank you! I'm sure lions have a few tender moments (or at least sleepy ones!) here and there. I know Leo's do!

Great overall work, but I also think that the details could use a little more work.

Thanks! Mainly I was just trying to get it finished in time to ship and send to my mom so she could frame it in time for my brother's birthday.

Thank you! I think he will like it. Also, my family being so far away, they don't get to see my art very often, so I think he'll be surprised at how much I have improved.
