Aesop's fable Illustration

After much deliberation i decided to go ahead and do this Illustration just to be on the safe side. Was a fun little painting to do. I referenced an iPad painting of the lion that i had done in one of the drawing sessions and placed it into a scene.

I decided to render this illustration in the style i have been using for my observational drawing. Emphasising the warm colours on the lions body and applying strong shadow to give the impression of a hot climate with the sun high in the sky.
