How to draw lion in oil pastel

-
When I plan new painting I usually start with lose drawing of a subject. 

I've make a drawing because I want to be familiar with a main features, for example eye shape, distance between nose and mouth, head ....
 

 
Second stage choosing the right paper. For oil pastel I usually use color Canson Mi-Teintes, in my opinion one of the best paper for oil pastels. Color paper has several advantages. Background color gives the atmosphere in the whole picture.
The color gives the initial tone and it is much easier to determine the other tones in the image. The background color gives the unity of everything in the picture. 
  
 

Third stage one more time outline drawing. I intentionally took a black and white photo as a reference, then there is a lot of room for innovation. while I was filling the picture with colors, I used a lot of warm colors, while I also left a lot of background to see.

 
In the last phase, I added details in the eyes, since they are the center of interest.

I tried to keep everything else loose, and for the shaded parts I left the paper to be provided.

The Koh-i-noor Mondeluz Watercolor Pencils are advertised as having highly concentrated pigments in combination with the use of high-quality kaolin white clay for the core.  This results in good, deep color and great application abilities.   The thick 3.8mm diameter core allows for very dominant strokes that can cover great areas while still being able to retain the ability to do intricate areas.  Overall these do quite well in all of these areas.  The sets come in 12 to 36 pieces and have a hexagonal wood shell.     I use watercolors mostly when i go outside to do sketching. They are easy to carry, it is enough to have only a sketchbook and pencils with you.  If you want to see a good tutorial on working with watercolors, take a look at this one: How to paint with Watercolour Pencils       If you have any questions feel free to ask them in the comments, I will try to answer as best I can .

Painting on rough watercolor paper

Painting on rough watercolor paper has many advantages.   This is especially true of motifs such as landscapes .   As you can see in this picture, I used a lot of dry brush technique . With just a few strokes, I got the effect of a cornfield.   As you go further into the picture use more water and paint to fill all the valleys in the paper. Because we don't want to see details in the distance.

Line and wash is a watercolour technique that combines a line drawing with a watercolour painting. Since a lot of the structure of the painting is established by the line drawing itself, often all that is needed from the paint is a little wash of colour - hence the name, line and wash.
