This will be the first piece of a serie of pic based on all historical and mythical lions of the european history, in their own character, sybolism and details :3 This will be the order of the pics that I'll draw:

1. Lion of Perugia
2. Lion of Saint Marc
3. Lion of Judah
4. Dutch Lion of Netherlands
5. Dying Lion of Lucern

-The famous lion of Perugia, carved on the Fontana Maggiore, ancient political and allegorical symbol of Perugia.

I visited Perugia a few of years ago (and I hope I'll have the chance to return there again, maybe for the famous and yummy European Chocolate Festival xD) and I was in love with this lion, completely captured by his majesty..
