Hi All,
Here's another update on Simba! As you can see I am moving right along. I'm starting to get the background in on the right side as I go along.
So far I have used 100% colored pencils and it's done on Suede Mat board. When I work in colored pencils I use several different brands. Most of this is done in Prismacolor however; it does also have Derwent Studios, Derwent Colorsoft, Faber Castell Polychromos, Derwent Artist and I think that's about it. If you're wondering why I use so many different brands.... it's because of color choice and also because the different pencils behave a bit differently and are better for some things. As an example I really like Derwent Studios for fine fur, they are a harder pencil which makes it great for fine hair. I have found I don't have any problem at all with mixing different brands of pencils. They all seem to work fine with one another.
If you should have any questions don't hesitate to speak up and comments are also welcomed.
Keep Scribbling!!

Hello All,
For those of you who have been following my "Work In Progress" on Simba the lion, I thought I would share a wonderful video with you!!
I just got an email from Lisa, at Animal Defenders International (ADI) and they have recently rescued several other Lions from the Bolivian Circus! This video shows Pancho, Temuco, Chitara, Delila and Kenya all being released in their new 20 acre habitat. It is unbelievable, that up till now, these lions lived in a cage no larger than a bed for all of their lives. It is so incredible to watch them in this video romp and play after being released to their new habitat in Colorado.
ADI is an incredible organization who are doing incredible things for these captive animals. Enjoy the video of Pancho, Temuco, Chitara, Delila and Kenya in their new habitats.
Hi All,
Nancy asked that I post a closeup of the muzzle, in one of her comments. So...... here it is!
If you have any questions just speak up and keep scribbling!!

Hi Everyone!!
I hope all is doing OK with those of you on the East Coast after Hurricane Irene!!!
Here's an update of the Lion I'm doing for Animal Defenders International. As you can see I haven't gotten a lot done, life just seems to be getting in the way, LOL. I'm hoping to be able to spend more time on it in the next couple of weeks.
I'm using the same procedure as I usually do, nothing really new so, I can't think of anything else to say about this guy. I'm still working in the mouth area so there will be some changes, I'm sure, in that area, with the next update.
If you should have any questions or comments please don't hesitate to speak up. Have a great day and most of all don't forget to Keep Scribbling!!
Cheers,
Gemma
