A nice depiction of a scene from LWW DaughterofEve1792. There are a couple of things that I want to mention, as a sort of future reference type thing. In the case of Aslan's front paws, it's a little difficult to tell where they are coming from and the posing. I can start to get a sense of where they are positioned, but I find myself spending more time trying to figure this out than actually looking at all the details and work put into the rest of the drawing. For Susan and Lucy's posing, Lucy's pose looks great and you really get the sense that she is leaning/resting on Aslan. However, the same feeling isn't given in Susan's pose. She seems a little stiff around the head and neck (I think it's because there needs to be more of a sense of movement in her hair. If she's laying against Aslan, it makes more sense for her hair to be dangling down rather than flowing staright back). Also, the darkness on Aslan's eyes is shaded a bit too much (it feels like his eyes are open here). The darker area needs to be a bit more of a thinner line than a complete dark patch look.

Well, after all that, time for the positives. The detail you have put into this piece is great. I really like the linework you have showing the cuts on Aslan's face and the even greater subtle detail of adding a few bent and crooked whiskers to Aslan's face (nice work there, really pushes the sense of believability). I also really like how you have Lucy wrapping her arm around and holding Aslan's paw (gives a really strong emotional quality to the piece). The linework in all the knots of the rope (this is something I could never quite get right when I would draw rope knots) is great and the detailing on the lettering of the Stone Table is also an effective choice. You definitely have a sense of detail and mood for your drawings, so it would be nice to see you work out a bit more on anatomy. Nice work on this one .

:D THANK YOU Lion's Emblem!! Aslan's Paws: The one behind Lucy is difficult to catch, I'll admit, but, looking closely, you see the shoulder right above Lucy's soulder. It's pretty easy to follow his leg down then.
And, now that I look at it, Susan does look a little funny. It would've helped if I'd done the hair-swooping-down-thing. Thanks for that pointer. :) And thanks for the advice on Aslan's eyes. I'll keep that in mind! All this advice helps make me a better artist, so thanks again! :D
