Keeping cool this weekend working on the lion, 71 hours and counting. Aiming to finish it early August. Once again I'm looking to get prints done. DM if you're interested #illustration

After 93 hours spread over 16 months, it’s finally finished. It measures 27 inches by 18 on white mount board. I’m getting it professionally scanned and giclée prints are available in any size. If you are interested in a print, or know anyone that might be, please DM me. #lion

Muzzle complete, just the chin and rest of the mane to go now! Can't wait to finish this one. Going to be doing a portrait of my dad next. #lion #illustration #pencildrawing
