Animal Defenders International Lion Donation, WIP05


Hello Everyone!!

Well... after a month or two I am finally able to draw.  My back is doing better but it isn't completely well yet.  My doctor prescribed some medication that is helping considerably.  

I finally got a chance to do some work on Simba.  I've gotten most of the fun stuff done and I'm now working on his mane.  He is such a pretty boy, I'm really enjoying doing his portrait.

I was hoping I would have him done by now but this setback with my back injury took care of that.  I have less than 2 weeks before I will be teaching the workshop on the Ann Kullberg Colored Pencil Cruise so I'm thinking I probably won't be able to finish him before I leave but we'll see.... I'm going to give it a try.  If you should have any questions at all please don't hesitate to speak up.

Thanks for checking in and don't forget to keep scribbling!
Gemma

  1. So pleased to hear that you are feeling much better and back at the drawing board :-)

    I love all your work but I have a soft spot for these fabulous big cats so this is definitely one of my favourites
