I got a brand new tablet for the first time; I've never used one before. I feel like my lines are kinda shaky looking, but it could be worse for my first attempt with a tablet. I'm a little embarrassed by how bad it looks, but both my husband Cody and my girlfriend  Alyssacubi seem to love it.

My husband Cody wanted an avatar for general use on forums or MSN and stuff. So I drew a portrait of him and anthro-ized it to look like his fursona. I don't really know how to draw faces except in human portraits, so yeah. I tried to mix what I knew about portrait drawing with what I could get off of photographs of lions. I think it came out okayish... I guess :(

Time: About 2-3 hours.
