You can view some details, the sketch in progress and the paper I'm using here.
Some innovations: drawing with colors and black paper... This is somehow the "beta version" of "Pencil Vs Camera". Many more works coming soon. I left the drawing unfinished on purpose (I wanted to attract the attention on the lion's face mainly). I took this picture in Tunisia and I also made the drawing.
Update: See THIS VIDEO showing some 18 Pencil Vs Camera images in progress (with a small animation and an original musical composition). _________________________________________________

I do believe, and say this, your art is very enchanting! I suppose you express your actual imagination in your art peaces. I actually love your originality, and how you provide everything to fit in place. I enjoy your art and hope most people will too! Your art's inspiring, if I say myself! Thank you for sharing you wonderful artwork with the world! I suppose you might have gone through difficult classes to make these wonderful sculptures of only paper and pencil! I will say again, thank you for showing your brilliant artwork! Congratulations in inspiring with magical imagination! I hope you will keep that with you.
I must express my sincerest congratulations to the author of this amazing, thought-out, and above all, flavorful piece!
Technique alone, this piece stands apart from a normal drawing, as much as a normal photograph. Combining the two into a seamless work of art is nothing short of incredible. Unless one were to make the notion that this was properly edited using a software application, it would most certainly take an extremely steady hand to achieve such a perfect degree of alignment between the drawing, and the photograph.
Now, as to the aesthetic appeal of the work. To sum it up in a simple word, one could hazard to guess that one word would be something along the lines of 'inspiring.' Anyone who is a love of the Fantasy genre, or a writer, will probably find this piece particularly to their liking. One cannot look upon the majestic lion careening down a deserted street without wondering who it is, what it's doing or how did it get there?
Perhaps even more so than the lion itself, one would probably be more interested in the creature catching a ride on the lion's tail. This blueish, semi-humanoid thing is most perplexing as to its nature, and more importantly, its purpose. Is the lion running away from the creature, or is it helping the creature escape from some unseen force? Perhaps it's something else all-together? Who's to say?
This incredible piece of art really brings home a sense of fantastical wonder and intriguing mystery as much as exiting adventure or unseen horror. An exhilarating scene that begs to be turned into a novel, or even a movie.
This type of art has to be one of my favorites that I have seen browsing Deviant Art. I love the concept and the fact that you are a talented artist as well doesn't hurt. We are creating a community website for sharing ideas, art, unity etc and I wondered if I may use this on the site? The site is Write to United. Thank you very much.
Unfortunately this particular piece has two major flaw: the paws and the distance from the head to the shoulders.
The Paws: If you take a look at the paws the lion doesn't look like he's running because his paws are just not formed to look like they would were the lion actually running.
Distance from head to shoulders: The head seems to be detached from the rest of the body because it seems that the face is farther out than it should be in order to have proper proportion.
Obviously you are a talented and creative artist, and I couldn't take that away from you even if I wanted to. I'm just trying to show you how you can improve your future pieces. I hope that you don't take my notes negatively, because I am only trying to help you.
