L is for Lion and B is for Ball

L is for Lion.


B is for Ball.


Here are two more alphabet coloring pages for you kids out there. I have been using Mayari's toys for reference on a few of these drawings. The Lion toy I used for reference was posed with twinning on the legs. It creates a stiff power pose. Not a very animated pose. It would be tough to change weight from a position like this, making it a very static pose. Probably why it works for a child's toy. It wont tip over. I stuck with it and feel that it went in a romanticized direction of a lion. Reminding me of medieval tapestry. I am trying not to get too stuck to realism. I left behind the details in the mane to create my own. I think a little weight shift of the pose would help this as a 2d drawing. I need to do some life studies of lions. I don't always like the way I draw them.

The ball was tougher to draw than I planned. I erased and erased then redrew the entire thing a few times. It was far more of a draftsmanship exercise.

Mt Auburn Night Pages 0-6

Here is a recap of the Mt Auburn Night Graphic novel pages I have posted on this blog.

I converted pages 0 through 6 to be easily readable on an smart phone or tablet. I need to create a html page to center the image then I need to add a share button on the bottom of the page. Please share this comic with your friends if you like it. Test it on your tablet or smart phone.

Mt Auburn Night Page 6

Page 6 of my Graphic Novel Mt Auburn night.



I'm doing some experiments with this for the Ipod. I may post an Ipod/Tablet version of all these pages so the reader can catchup with the story all in one format.
