Description I was so in love with this when I first started it, and now it grosses me out. The eyes are too smol and the nose is wonky. Blah! However, I'm quite happy with the rest of it. I had to use a million references of photos of lions, as well as having lion documentaries playing in the background, to get this at least semi-correct. I'm still not happy with the anatomy. My eyes hurt. 

I made it Chumvi because, well, I haven't drawn him before. Beautiful chocolatey bab with a sweet smile.

Aww, I don't think he looks wonky at all!  His expression is so calm and full of wonder.. Chumvi is one of my favorite semi-canon characters

Well, I usually see him portrayed as a bit childish, which is cute, but I wanted to make him a bit more mature for my interpretation. I'm glad you like it :3

You made him look so majestic and handsome!
The realism really works here!

Well, I remember reading one of TamberElla's tutorials, and they said that if you practice for like 3 hours a day (or as much as you can), you will get noticeably better much faster than if you take long breaks in-between. With it being Christmas break at the moment, I am trying to hammer it as much as I can lol. So many sketches get scrapped ;-;

Oooooh interesting! I might try this method next year ouo
Today's discarded sketches could be the inspiration for the future days, when you want to make something, but lack ideas
