"We Three Kings Part II"
The Lion King is the second of three ‘up-close and personal’ Big Cat paintings in my “We Three Kings” series, the original was created in artist colour pencil on drafting film.
The first in the series is the Tiger King, and the third will be either a cheetah or a snow leopard…I havn’t yet decided which one it will be!

I love the colours in this one.

Very capturing and it diffently brings attention to how powerful the eyes, nose and mouth are. The eyes for the hunter, nose for the smell of finding his prey and his big powerful teeth to wrip anything a part. It’s really neat how we all can look at something and have a different feelings and ideas.

This is such amazing work … you haven’t missed a single whisker. May I ask how long such detailed work takes you?
Michelle Wrighton
Thankyou! The time taken really depends on the size and also the support (art paper) that I use. Drafting film takes only a few layers of colour pencil, so you have to really plan each stroke of colour, but it makes it quicker – this one I think took about 15 hours to complete (most in this size take 12-20 hours for me).
On the other hand, the bullmastiff colour pencil painting I did (“Waiting”) was on a different paper called stonehenge and that one took over 60 hours to complete because it needed so many more layers to develop the colour.
LOL that’s why I like using drafting paper – well that and the luminosity it gives the artwork:)

A lot of work and attention to the fine detail, has created this wonderfully expressive lion portrait.
Superbly detailed, even down to the light reflection in the eyes!
Michelle Wrighton
Thanks Colin:) So far, no other medium allows me to create such fine detail as colour pencil.
