A lion cub boldly takes the lead

This image has been sketched using PASTELS on Pastel Matt Paper

On board TWO I have started to mark up the cub and following lioness

Starting to fill in the blurred background before developing the lioness and then cub

The blurred lioness is beginning to appear to the rear of the cub.

The lioness is gradually dominating the image at the moment. The ground still to do before the work on the cub.

Working at board B which has the natural light coming over my left and right shoulders

Softening the lioness and back ground before moving onto the ground and cub which will be in focus.

Now the cub is the main focus as the background blends in around it.

Creating low lights by using a fine eraser to create the fur effect

Now finished, scanned and ready for framing
