Roaring Lion (Ink Drawing)

Hello Steemians.
I'd like to share this pen drawing of a roaring lion I did earlier today. The lion isn't the tallest, smartest, fastest or biggest animal in the wild, but it's presence and roar causes alot of commotion in the wild. I made this drawing to study furs and detailing in lions. Although I'm still working towards perfection, I think patience and paying attention to details is of utmost importance in creating awesome drawings of wildlife subjects.

I used a black ball point pen and pelican paper for this drawing and here are my steps;
Firstly, I drew the outline of the face of the lion with it's mouth wide open

Next, I began shading and adding details to the mane.

Finally, I shaded and added details to it's face until I got an appealing result.

Thank you for reading and viewing my drawing. Enjoy the rest of your day.
