In this opportunity I share my most recent drawing of the animal kingdom: A Lion
For this drawing I only used colors so I will detail how I applied them
Locating the colors that I will use: Brown in three tones. Yellow, Ocher, Orange, Black and gray. Drawing made in simple opaline cardboard
I trace mainly what will be the head of the lion to go defining then, nose, eyes mouth. I will use the brown and yellow tones to give shape to the coat
The most complex work will be the mane; for this we will use the lighter shades as bases and we will draw lines that should have the effect of being each strand of hair, then we go with the intermediate tone and finally the dark tone, for the back parts of the beard I used the black and gray
For the body coat I used the screening technique (only making the lines without the crossing) very closed to start and then a uniform filling with the skin color to better segment and match the used tones (All except black). Since he had to use many tones, the strokes were smooth. In this same way I drew the spine. For the eyes I used black on the edge, orange and yellow for the eye itself
To highlight the face (to call it somehow) with the brown I made an overlay on the edge of it and delineated with an intermediate brown
I really enjoyed doing this drawing, I will soon share others about nature
