a Carla Sonheim tutorial

This is my result from following Carla Sonheim's tutorial.   My lion measures about 6" x 8".   I had to make a few substitutions ... I used sketchbook paper instead of watercolor paper, and white acrylic paint & the back end of a paintbrush to make the dots, instead of using a paint pen ... but I am really happy with my results.

Here are my step-by-step photos:

I will be headed back to Carla's blog real soon to try out some of the assignments from her newly published book: Drawing Lab for Mixed-Media Artists (which is on my wishlist).

*update: I got my copy of Drawing Lab for Mixed-Media Artists and started working on the assignments. I will be posting my progress through the book in my Journals & Sketchbooks blog.
