This is part 1 of a two part tutorial in which we will paint a lion together. In this first part we will create the sketch and lay down the base colors. In the next part we will do all the detailing and turn it into a realistic looking lion head.

This is an advanced level video, which means it's not a step by step like a You Can Draw This. It's more like a peek into my process. I'm building a color palette as we go (which I have attached to this post, just make sure to use a browser in stead of the Patreon app to  download the palette)

You can find the reference photo here.

I hope you'll have fun painting your own lion!

Hi Flo, I don’t suppose you would have your Procreate file you could share for this one?

I'm sorry Tony, but I've had bad experiences sharing my files in the past unfortunately

Do you have the reference image? I can’t seem to find it in the post. It would be helpful with the sketching.

Search Unsplash for "lion" and it looks like it's on the first page.

Thank you! I got it it.

Hi Flo, Amazing tutorials. I was wondering: Is pick a ref video tutorial still a thing? or you are not doing that anymore?

Treesah

Thanks for the more advanced tutorial! I found the reference photo on unsplash.com, couldn't find it in the post.

Okay I have started this project and boy you are not kidding that the project at this stage is well…..challenged…. Mine looks more like the dog in the Disney movie from 40 years ago…”The Shaggy DA” a sheep-dog. I however promised LORI of @PurpleMindStudios that I would NOT start over. That is a hard promise not to break.

whether he will be share worthy…..that’s going to be a whole other obstacle for me to hurdle over. Time will tell…..lol

Thanks Anja! I have stopped doing the pick a ref videos, but I'm thinking of starting something similar soon.
