The cover illustration of The Shadow of the Lion, by Mercedes Lackey, Eric Flint, and Dave Freer. I… am unsure if the cover artist has ever seen a real shadow before. I assume not, because that lion has the exact opposite of a shadow. Kinda amazing, really.Once again shading is my enemy here; it’s the shading that makes the face for certain, and it’s the shading (or lack thereof) that makes any attempt to copy the hind-legs an exercise in futility. I have also never quite been able to draw wings well, and that shows; perhaps I should take some time for an in-depth study of wings sometime in the future. I did do a good job on the ears, however, and I think the left fore-paw is rather decent. -- source link
