The Lion King by ~vipinraphel When I first saw this picture of a lion in the thumb I thought it must be a black and white photo. I opened it and realized that is was traditionally drawn, and drawn so beautifully that every nuance is obvious down to the magnificent, furry mane, the slight forward tilt of his head (representing strength and royalty) and the expressive eyes.
