My submission is a drawing of the king of the jungle - the Lion:

The King of the Jungle - Lion

A Lion is always interesting to draw. I considered a few lion images and it took me several hours but I enjoyed drawing it. I will now go through the steps that I used to create this drawing:

Step 1: Rough Sketch of the drawing:

The rough sketch does not have to be too detailed, just needs to capture the approximate position of the elements of the drawing.

Step 2: Place in the base colours

I decided to go with red, to bring in the Hive theme. Also, red looks like fire and it will be great to bring out the strong expression of the Lion

Step 3: Adding details

This step is where I start adding in some details to make it look more realistic. This process takes the longest time.

Step 4: Refining the colors

Refining is generally the best part, because that is when the drawing starts to show signs of completeness.

Final:

Hope that you enjoyed go through the post.
