The old Honey Lion

[Dave]

Description by Don Bluth:
When you take away the earmark of a lion it hardly looks like a lion at all. In this drawing, I explore how to remove the characteristic main and still have it look like a lion. One thing I did do correctly, however, was to describe who this old lion was inside first. I used my cousin Carl as a model.

I love the expression on the lion's face. Sometimes, after a long day at work I look like that when I come home! Great video.

Thanks Don!
The personality really comes out in this character.
I bet he has more than a few stories to tell. (to those who'd be willing to take the time to listen to them!)

The contrast between the young lion and the old is rather telling as well.
