The Ninth Doodle

As a lady who has recently suffered a wee bit of heartbreak, I have found myself doodling certain animals to express my...grrrr. A lion couldn't be more apt. I literally feel if someone came a bit too close at the minute I may bite them. Plus the lion embodies all we aim to be; strength, courage, power, beauty.

That'd be nice wouldn't it.

This started as a line drawing, but I then painted it and felt that it worked much better with the grey inks. Add a bit of tawny to the mane and she felt done. Growwwwwwl.
