Description
This is a university illustration from 2 years ago, I was doing a series of illustrations on morals and fables. This doesn't use the same eye trickery I tried to use in the Sheep in Wolfs clothing (or role reversal, because that would just be strange!) but I was trying to give the lion a look of still being wild, as though he's weighing up whether to let the mouse set him free or just eat him anyway.Fineliners on A2 paper.

Thank you! These fables have a strong place in my childhood too, especially the Tortoise and the Hare. C:

This is amazing! I love your style of drawing and shading. It almost looks like a (very detailed) linoprint.

Thanks so much! I get what you mean about it having a lino print 'feel', I think that's because it's been shrunk down so much from the original
