Description
I've been doing a lot of sketching from photos lately, but today I wanted to loosen up and draw just from imagination. By this I mean the pose and form of the lion was not inspired by any photos. Towards the final stages of the drawing I referred to taxidermy specimens and anatomy diagrams to render final details.Do you like seeing the written instructions on the image here? Usually I let the images speak for themselves, but I ran a poll on Instagram and found that the majority of people were interested to see written captions on tutorials rather than just in the upload description.
Materials used: HB and 2B pencils, eraser, paper blending stump.

I like the commentary, it helps clarify your thought process a lot for an outside viewer while still being very concise

Wow nice job !
The written instructions are actually useful to understand your process, because even if the images are clear we don't know what's going on in the head of an artist drawing a lion

That's great to hear! Usually I write an explanation of my process in the image description, but this is the first time I've actually incorporated the steps into the image itself.
