Right now I'm happy, refreshed, and feeling great! =D Been on vacation, bought a buncha stuff, including how to draw dragons and mythical beings books, with an acrylic pain kit. Will try that some other time. For now, I've been using help lines, which I usually don't, and I've drawn a Chimera! Tried to emphasize the light much more, but I think I overdid it. XD And yes, I know it isn't the usual lion coloring, but ANYWAY..

That's a toy in the string right there, FYI, not a live mouse.
