Original artwork description:

Part of what is now turning into a series of Original Pencil Drawings by Paul Stowe, the others being a young Elephant, Rhino, Hippo, Zebra, Leopard and Tiger - this drawings depicts a Lion in the same pose (and the same size) as the previous animals.

Drawn on Bristol Board Smooth paper and measuring 40cm wide and 55cm high, the complete drawing took around 40+ hours to finish.

The drawing is being sold unframed to reduce shipping costs - however I can offer a bespoke framing service as required - To ship with the same frame used in the example photos will cost and additional £100 - just send me a message to discuss.

Turning professional in 2016 Paul has won accolades across the globe, initially exhibiting and selling work in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand he now resides in the centre for contemporary British Art and the Tate Modern Gallery, St. Ives, Cornwall.
From his open studio and commercial gallery in the town he spends hours, weeks and months drawing incredibly detailed images inspired by the plethora of artists and art in the local area.
His work is on permanent display in 'The Stowe Gallery' in St. Ives and with individual and corporate collections across the world.
