Blackeye the lioness

Description

So, as you may know, I have a certain addiction for big cats, especially lions. When I was watching Big Cat Diary, I got inspired to draw these animals. I was mostly inspired by Tamu the lioness, (Tamu is Swahili for "sweet", which she was) who, at the beginning of the Big Cat Diary week had four cubs. Sadly, she lost one to an invading male lion. That was a very sad episode :(

Anyway, this is not Tamu, although Tamu was inspiration. This is Blackeye, my own name for this lioness. But, I think she looks more like a cougar than an African lion. Especially in the muzzle area...lol. She's supposed to be an African lion, just for the record.

Obviously this is not perfect, far from it, it's a rough sketch. It needs cleaned up and colored (although I'm a little wary of coloring, since I'm a bit color blind. lol. I might do it in photoshop, which should make things go a little smoother and allows me to edit easily)

Anywho...enjoy. I please send feedback, good or bad. Good feedback is great, bad feedback will give me areas I can improve on. Please don't be too harsh though, I did work very hard on it ( I started at 11:00 P.M last night, stopped at 1:30 A.M, was back up at 8:30 A.M and finished at about 9:30 A.M. So that's like, what? four and a half hours total? lol yeah, I'm bad at math too)

edit lol stupid me sent this as a print...it's obviously nowhere near good enough for that. Does anyone know how to remove it as a print?
