Chancers

Two sibling male lions take an early stroll through the morning mist

This image has been sketched using PASTELS on Pastel Matt Paper.

Sketched in the markings of the two lions with the one in the background softly focused to give it depth

Gradually working on the main male lion which will be the main focus of the image

Working on the upper mane and highlighting the ear using a piece of chalk.

The golden mane is coming along as I will soon start working on the courser black under-mane

I'll add light to the front foot and then give a softer feel to the sketch

Scanned and now just waiting to be Mounted and Framed
