lesson two: lion

From the art book I'm doing lessons out of with my daughter. We drew from a picture of a lion embroidery, following step-by-step instructions.
part of the lesson was about finding ways to fix things when you're unhappy with your drawing. The suggestions were to repeat the mistake into a pattern that obscures it, transform that part of the drawing into something else, or trace on a new paper the parts you like, discarding the parts you don't. With this lion, my daughter made the chin too big so I suggested she fix it somehow and she made it his tongue sticking out.
