I had to stop before Matt was done but this is what I have ![IMG_9366](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/d/d2ab21cecc3d131a595f757b44c26ea48d09150d.jpeg) ---

Maybe more dog than lion. The paper I’m using is some very rubbish watercolour paper that I purchased a few years ago when I really had no idea about paper. It’s from the UK chain The Works. I actually like it for charcoal and graphite. ---

Here is my Getting Sketchy lion. I stopped with 12 minutes left on the lesson, will finish it tomorrow. Mine is 10x10 on charcoal paper ![IMG_8305](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/1/1d9d6baff38a25e73de8a4450ae414596e581286.jpeg) ---

Had to work it a little more, added white charcoal. The reference picture was so beautiful, I just had to try to at least make the whiskers a little better ![IMG_8379](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/3/34a6b693ce13475bf11ced9b535ebbbb42ee1d1b.jpeg) ---

Hi Sonia - What a striking drawing. I really like the random way you’ve added the hairs, especially on the right side. But of course, there are a lot of other things to like about this one as well. The extra time you put into it, was well worth it. Terri Robichon ---

I think he’s a little goofy looking, but still tries to be king of the jungle. Always fun to draw along and listen to Matt and Ashley. ---

@HarleysMom, Nice lion very detailed too! I like the way it is with graphite, and you’re right, not only is charcoal messy and loose for sketchbooking but the few ones I’ve done in my sketchbook are fading. Sonia Alonzo ---
