Lion King Sketch Practice (Patreon)

 I know I posted this on twitter as well, but I figured I might as well include it here :) 

I did a teeny bit of practice last night - I traced (!!!!! the forbidden word!!) some official character guides of TLK (left), and then redrew them from scratch, seeing if I could translate the general technique (right). I'm itching to draw some lions and I feel like I'm back in early high school, haha.

Also, a note: tracing someone's artwork is 99.99% of the time a complete no-no, and rightfully so! But using pictures from official sources like games and movies can be a pretty good learning tool. Just remember not to publish or claim those tracings as your own!
