The Face of a Lion Carving

Last night I was in the mood for just sketching with pencil.  I find the blending/shading to be extremely relaxing.  Was in no rush but just leisurely worked on this as I watched TV.

It's from a photo I took while on holiday in the UK back in 2010.  The wood carving is a long piece that has this full bodied lion along with acorns and oak leaves carved.  The face is what captured my attention.

Mechanical pencil 0.5 (Twist Erase) in cartridge paper sketchbook.
