This is truly great, the anatomy is perfect. I wish I could colour in PS, that would make my life a little brighter ^_~

Hey I like this piece. Looks like you put some time and effort into it. I like the eye's. I agree with fan it's not what catches your eye at first because of the way it's sitting and facing. The back side is what catches you at first and then lures you into it's face. Overall it's a really good job and like el pointed out you should add some more shading in certain areas of the picture to help bring it out a little more.

This is wonderful. The eyes_are_worth looking at but for me its the whisters above them and along the nose that make this a stand out work. My only suggestion is the sky behind the cub is such a plain blue when compaired to the detail in the grass he's resting in. Overall great drawing I wish I could do half as good. Fanilia

This is adorable. You got the anatomy dead on. The coloring and texture are really nice. My only crit on the cub itself, is that the top of the head and the tail are too outlined. Try zigzagging it more to make it more furry. Also maybe make the sky in the background more gradient-like to break up all that solid color. But overall I love the pic!

Very nice! The lion cub looks lovely and very realistic. :D I have to agree with Teeny on the use of the smudge brush to remove outlines. Alternatively, you can also work on building up the negative and positive areas around outlines using highlight and shadow to help eliminate outlines. I like the texturing you did in the cub's fur. Quality work here! :D

this is really nice. far better than i could ever do. have such a hard time drawing animals! ^_^() anyhow, teeny is right in saying well spent time on the eyes. very realistic. the shading can use a tiny bit of work around the tail so that it doesnt look so 'big' and flat. again, like teeny said, smudging is your best bet probably. very nice!

Well, it was time well spent on the eyes - they look realistic. In fact, the whole cub is realistic but the tail looks a bit off. I would move the beginning of the tail more to the right and I would hide the outline. In realism, you don't get outlines. A good way to get rid of it is to smudge it outwards so it looks like fur. You didn't forget the eyelashes! A lot of people do, it's a small detail to miss but it doesn't look complete without it. Good use of colour btw! Shadows and highlights are in place and it just looks so cute. I wouldn't use a white grass brush though. Instead, I would the grass brush but with different shades of green and sizes. Overall, good job. Animals aren't easy to draw since they have different anatomy but you did pretty well. :)
