Description
Still haven't finished editing video and that other thing...The usual: Gimp 2.7 + GPS, Ubuntu 9.10
Hours? Just to sum them up... Ok I gathered the numbers it is 6h and 53min with lots of interruptions which means those portraits I did before took less time than I thought.

An exercise.

Thank you, just when I remember I spend more time editing that video than actually painting this.

even for an exercise/experiment it's excellent. =] wonderfully silky fur and the places where the colours merge as well as the fur grain is very well done.
i'll keep this picture in mind the next time i try fur experiments. =]

Thanks, I'll experiment more, need to learn not to make lion's fur so silky.

i love it!! you always manage to put so much detail without flooding the eyes lots of distractions in the painting. i never really understood how to draw fur, do u happen to have a tutorial or know a tutorial about it?

Thank you. As a matter of fact I'm making tutorial about painting lion eye and short fur around it. I'll probably post it today if I manage to finish it. For the longer fur you can see this one: [link]

It looks like you've successfully rendered the animal's fur. (Did you use the fur_fast tool or another one?) Tones and colours are realistic, I like it very much.
There's only one thing that puzzles me just a little, it's a matter of perspective. I think the King's left eye should be put slightly down and to the left of the picture -- they seem to be on a horizontal line but the animal is looking to the right.
Very good work anyway.

Yes, it was fur_fast, I'm preparing a tutorial, the one that I said I would do.
Eyes, yes, something is wrong. I tried changing it but didn't look right, so I left it the way it is. Maybe I'll fix it, but right now I don't think I can put a single line on that image.
Thank for the feedback, you know I love them.

You're very welcome -- I'm always a little reluctant on commenting like this since I'm pretty n00b 
Mostly you don't hesitate to innovate and take challenges. I like that. Given the results that's very stimulating and guiding

Thank you, I'm gonna try iWrap tool. Sharing knowledge is part of Linux philosophy isn't it.
It is scientist in me who likes experimenting and discovering new things.

You are absolutely right

Wow! as for study is very very good quality work.But i have found that your fur is very soft for a lion character. Maybe in a cat it will be wonderful but in a lion.. i think you will do a wonderful job on the final piece, even this study is good .
take care

Thanks for the feedback, that is what I wanted.
I notice that too, and I'm still experimenting with brushes to achieve not so soft fur for the lion.

Thanks, I wanted to make a lion without a reference and that's why this is an exercise. And I was experimenting with a way to mimic animal fur.

Beautiful work. I've suggested it as a favourite to three Narnia groups on DeviantArt and I've added it to my favs.
