My submission is for Born Free, by Joy Adamson, about his experiences raising Elsa, a lion cub. The background is in charcoal, and I made the text digitally in Procreate.

This is beautiful! I love the soft texture the charcoal gives it and the font is very suiting too!
As a follow-up to an earlier question, if you have a long time to make a full figure drawing, what do you simplify in the head?

I approach the features of the head and face just like any other forms, by focusing on the shadow patterns. However faces do require a higher degree of accuracy. The slightest slip of the mouth can have major influence on the expression. Generally, I downplay the halftones, because they can get overly complicated. Look to great illustrators like Haddon Sundblom and Gil Elvgren for effective "idealization" of heads and faces. But, there are many ways to simplify. I wish I could have shown more in the demo. Perhaps I'll touch on this in future videos.
