Original art by
RidleyDupree who was kind enough to let me use it to practise my shading and other techniques (my first proper attempt).
I'm quite proud of the overall look, though definitely think I learned through making mistakes. One thing I learned is that trying to copy someone's style is very hard, and unfeasible for what I'm doing. If I do any more like this in future, I need to bear in mind that I have to use my own interpretation and work in ways that I know I can do to make it work.
I also realised that scanning the piece looks better than taking a photo of it.
Hand burned on to birch plywood.

On the wood-piece, the flattened wood-piece, a lion leers tonight!
The shading on the mane looks excellent. And the left(for me) ear is also popping nicely.
Doing mistakes and learning from them are always interesting when applying scoring to a medium. Because it looks very obvious when you're the one doing it, but others don't know what you did and thus things look good.
So: this looks quite neat ;)
But keep at it, doing what you percieve to be mistakes will make your next piece look much better for you. And then the next, then the next..
