Asiatic lion population reaches record high in India’s Gir Forest

India’s Asiatic lion population has climbed to 674, the highest number recorded since recovery efforts began.

Concentrated in Gujarat’s Gir Forest, the species has rebounded from near-extinction thanks to strict anti-poaching laws, community patrols, and expanding habitat protections.

Gir remains the only place on Earth where these lions live in the wild

#caturday ...I guess....
I left #malmö in 2011 and it was there then, and had been for years, outside its shop in Möllevången. It's still there; soggy, bleached, torn, close to disintegrating. It has been there for decades now, exposed to the elements but untouched.
To mashup two vaguely known quotes:
Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays this lion from its appointed deterioration to proceed apace.

Figure and background practice. I'd like to do a couple more of these in different mediums.

I've been muddling around with the fantasy felines project quite a lot, this is because I want to do a smallish zine as the final project. And I've been having trouble deciding on the final look.

Maybe these practice illustrations will help me decide

A5-ish size hot press paper and pencil with some digital editing.

Not having a great time with the Guardian lion illustration. After two attempts to re-work the last piece I gave up and started on this sketch. I did finish this one but I hated the final result. I think its back to the sketchbook to practice backgrounds more for me! #MastoArt #DigitalArt #lion

🦁 Lion - un modèle d'Edwin Corrie

Plié ici avec un carré pas droit de 15×15 cm de côté. Une chute d'une feuille de Grainy, peut-être ?

Le diagramme a été publié dans plusieurs livrets de convention, mais n'est pas disponible librement.

Mais vous pouvez découvrir ce créateur avec d'autres de ses diagrammes :

Essayez donc le dragon ou le "puppy dog", ils sont vraiment bien !
