Description

This is Nia (#4)


I'm adopting him to try and broaden my skills as a mediocre artist ^^; I drew ~JEAikman's lion Elimu
and


And I really enjoyed drawing him =) So I'm going to try to do a bit more Lions, starting with Nia =)

Jordann is ALSO letting me use her two characters Hana (red lioness here ) and Nuru (dark lion here ) (BOTH featured in the above character dump ) as his parent :love: "...they could have had a fling in their younger days or something :) "

So here he is! At least as a cub...... almost colored ^^;

So Elimu, Hana, Nuru, and the design for Nia is (c) ~JEAikman
Drawing and Nia is (c) =OceanLoreGraphics =)

He looks great so far :) Just watch when you're drawing lions that they don't end up looking too much like horses - The legs should probably be a little shorted and stockier, the tail a bit thicker at the base. And if he's a cub, the ears should be bigger in comparison to his head :) I think it's great that you're trying to branch out as an artist - that's the best way to improve your skills. There are loads of great lion stock photos on dA if you want to get a feel for shading and lighting :) I'm sure there are plenty of good tutorials as well, if you ever get stuck. Of course, if you ever want me to redline or anything, feel free to ask :)
