Digital Artistry - Male Lion - Pastel Chalk

I'm a Leo and I have a lion head tattooed on my shoulder (it may help identify my body someday).

This is my attempt at using the pastel chalk brushes in the digital painting program. It was a two-cup of coffee effort this morning so it's mostly fast and loose brush strokes. I used a fine chalk pencil brush to create the outline of the face.

Thanks, UTMike. Being a master reminds me of my days as a lad where my summer job was working at a children's park. I was assigned to work at the small lake helping children fish where I had to bait their hooks.

I had to work my way to the top, which means that I was an "apprentice baiter". By the end of the summer, I had become a "master baiter". I didn't go back the next summer because I had to stop before I went blind and now I have to wear glasses.

Actually, looking at this lion and the lioness, I'd have to say your vision is spectacular

Great artistic work ... but makes me wonder, if you were to try actual charcoal and chalk my bet is it would be marvelous for your ability to be displayed...
ya, I know I am old-fashioned and am dated as prehistoric BC era ... BC meaning... Before Computers.
