Description
This piece leaves me with an utter lack of words.Working with it was almost like a meditation, like entering a dreamlike state. I worked basically all through the night, and only did some finishing touches today. I don't think I can put it words the meaning of this piece, but what I can say is that the lion very recently entered into my spiritual life, and I'm still very much in awe. I'm trying to reflect on his vibrant presence, but I find myself backing away from the challenge written in his eyes. He's waiting patiently for me, and whenever I'm ready, this will bring a lot of positive change, I can feel it <3
I'm very happy with the result on this one. Everything just went so smoothly, it was a real pleasure to work on it.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love drawing animals, and I really should do it more often.

This is absolutely gorgeous, my dear. I am entranced by your story of it - and also by every strand of fur, the scars on his muzzle, the patient and welcoming and wise expression in his eyes. Your attachment to it definitely shows.

Thank you <3
I'm really you think that! I really enjoyed working on his mane, which is surprising because I usually get really tired and eventually frustrated by drawing fur or big amounts of hair, but it was surprisingly soothing. I'm glad that I managed to get that expression in his eyes, and that it shows, it was exactly what I was going for c:

Thank you!
I haven't ever been a huge fan of lions. I mean, I've liked them as much as most other mammals, but they were never among my favourites. But lately I've grown more fond of them
