Lion Complete

I have finally completed my lion drawing - it took a lot longer than expected to finish and I still feel like I could do more! But I always struggle to determine when a piece of work is finished, so I am leaving it as it is and will start a new project.

The original of this drawing is available for purchase on my Esty Shop. See top for link.

Work In Progress.... King of the Jungle

Raawwwrrrrr!!

Usually, I limit the use of pencil in my work, but for this larger piece, the shading has worked beautifully over the top of the markers. Still a few more hours until this is complete! Very excited to start the lower half, planning on giving the lion a tribal feather necklace... so to accurately depict a typical lion in the wild.

Welcome to Hush the Hound

Welcome to my blog, which I have named 'Hush the Hound' due to my fondness of foxes! My work surrounds themes of nature and portrays my love for animals and colour - my favourite colour is in fact orange... you might have noticed!

I studied Creative Art at Sheffield Hallam University and currently work and live in Sheffield. Feel free to contact me (commisions are more than welcome) : hushthehound@gmail.com
