Description And his name is Beethoven!


Is that clear enough for ya?

So this is actually only the right half of the image. The left part is going to be a tiger I wanted to finish this side through so I wouldn't risk smudging it working on the left side. Now it's sprayed with fixative so I'm ready to get started!

Hugely inspired by this Wikipedia page: [link]

Seriously, google is amazing.

Things used:
Pencils (Mechanical 2B, normal 4B and H)
Kneaded eraser (R.I.P, you were a great soldier in this battle, my friend)
Normal eraser
The score from The Lion King by Hans Zimmer (The movie just wasn't epic enough, it needed epic music as well...)

One more thing: I took a lot of pictures of the working progress when I drew this, so I basically have the whole process in photos. Would this be interesting to see for you guys?

Critique appreciated!

Your pencil strokes are amazing, can really see the fine hairs and it doesnt take away from the expression of the lion. Really well done.

This is very realistic. You did a good job with the face. I guess for the top left corner, it should be more smooth and not look so penciled. Have it blend in more. Anyways, great job!

Thank you!
Ah, you mean the dark part of the mane? I can see how it might look a little harsh compared to the rest, I think I can still fix that.
Thank you for the comment!

Hehe, his mane looked a bit like Beethovens crazy hair, so I suddently got to think about that

Thank you!
