This is an image of a lioness and her young cub

It has been sketched using the medium of PASTEL on PASTEL MATT board whilst using a beautiful reference photograph courtesy of Dustin Van Helsdingen.

The following series of images show the process of sketched it

I've sketched the outline of the lioness and her cub before I then start on the background

I'm working on the lioness's ears and neck then moving across to the eyes and nose

Working from easel One I'm concentrating on filling in the lioness's chin here.

I've been working on the cub before moving onto the main body of the lioness

Now working on the shoulders and hind quarters of the lioness

Still adding the fur to the rump of the lioness as the cub watches me

Gradually the image is beginning to take shape as I add the finer detail to the picture

That's the final image scanned at Framers Gallery
