This lion was a small part of a much larger pen-and-ink/watercolor drawing I did
several years ago. The original was sold at a charity auction, and since that was
long before color copies were affordable, all I have of it is a black-and-white
photocopy. I scanned this in from the photocopy and edited out the background. I
then re-added the color and added a slight drop shadow to sort of lift it off of
the page. It still looked too flat to me, so I gave the lion a slight canvas
texture and added a mosaic pattern to the background. January 1999.
