Description
So... about two months ago, my good friend and fellow artist tuherrus debuted their absolutely adorable coupling of Tojo and Kula, along with their absolutely adorable fan cub Zabuni. It was around that time my pal gave me permission to draw their character. Two months is better then never I guess.I've never really drawn male lions before, so this was a challenge for me to say the least. Aside from that, I had a really difficult time finding good positions for them, and let me just say some of the earlier drafts frighten me. Eventually I came across a reference picture that looked really good and I decided to base mine off of. The link is here in case anyone is curious: www.pngall.com/wp-content/uplo…
I'd like to thank tuherrus for letting me drawn Zabuni and for being patient with me in the time it took to make and get this out. Hope you enjoy this buddy, your art continues to inspire me and I'm really happy we have these Lion King talks together.

AAAHH!! i'm loving how close this is and that kula's cuddling tojo, they're too cute 😭 zabuni looks great also!!
looks like they're all kinda having a time off dozing and that's honestly very good
i think your backgrounds are improving a lot, i love the depth in color on how it kinda goes into more blues the further it gets!
i just realized you're the first person off of dA to give me a gift here and that means a lot

The main reason why their eyes are all closed is because I actually made a draft on a sticky note that ghostly looked so good, but unfortunately I lost it and I couldn't seem to recreate it. Also I wasn't sure how to draw them with eyes that didn't look weird.
Thanks for noticing my background skills, that's one of the biggest things I've been trying to improve upon.
Also, aww, well I'm honored to be the first gifter for you. Considering you were also the first person to gift me a picture on dA, I felt this really gave more meaning to the picture. I'm honestly glad to have befriended you here and I really enjoy messaging you and putting out my written descriptions for your pieces.

aw man i sometimes have that w sketching where doing lines just never looks as nice as the original sketch did
even tho in the end absolutely nobody's going to see the sketch regardless
i feel like i need to get on more gift giving by drawing some of your characters since you drew some recently so maybe that's to come soon

There is a sort of feeling that you get when drawing sketches on physical paper that you don't seem to get on computer/tablet art programs. I feel like there is much more control when you have a rougher surface to sketch against, verses the mouse or the screen.
Please don't feel obligated to give me anything in return. You've already done so much for me, what with your commission and the lovely fanart you did for my story. I can't thank you enough for fun art you've put out and the enjoyable discussions we've had. ..That being said, if you do want to draw my charters, I give you my full permission to do so and I cannot express my thankfulness enough for how blessed I am to have a friend like you.

i think i've been doing digital art for so long that i'm kinda used to the disconnect of my hand and where the art is actually happening
but i do really wanna save up for one of em tablets with screens so i could get that same feeling you get when you physically draw something
AW MAN don't make me cry haha
i do gifts if i wanna and you can't stop me!
