June Birthday Project: Simba - (6 / 24 / 23)
In 2022, I started a project-challenge-thing on Instagram where I draw six pieces to tie-in with the character-related anniversaries and birthdays going on in June. I never participate in any monthly challenges, and I wanted to encourage myself to use my traditional art supplies, so I thought it would be a fun thing to do for my birth month. :3
Here's Simba for June 24th! 🥳
💛🦁🧡🍂💛👑🧡🎶💛
It's been 29 years since The Lion King premiered in theaters! 🤯 It's my favorite Disney movie and I've been wanting to do something to commemorate the date every time it came around.
I was stalling really hard on this one...☉‿☉; I haven't quite nailed the TLK style when it comes to the lions and didn't want to end up taking too much time. I ultimately settled on something more inspired by the plush toy Funko made. (And still ended up posting this late. 😫) That style didn't give Simba his whiskers, but I couldn't resist adding them at the last minute; he doesn't look very Simba-y without 'em. xD
