I'm trying to stop blending the pastels, but I always get carried away. Some people can blend these things, but when I do it, they flatten right out. I really appreciate your input, and I'll work on getting some fur put back on his face. I use the blue/orange color scheme a lot, don't I? :D I like purple/orange too. Thanks Meg.

I like the colors, but I'm a sucker for the blue/orange combo. :D It's a fairly good likeness to a lion! My main suggestion is to keep the level of detail consistent; the eyes and muzzle are very well-drawn and realistic, but the fur is a bit more blended, especially on the face (mane's pretty good)! Making the level of detail more consistent might make his eyes "sit" in his face better. I really like that muzzle, and the colors you used for shadows in the fur are great - picking up the background shades - and it gives the piece a lot of depth. Lisa,
