I have always loved the simplicity of a drawn line and the visual strength of a conté sketch. The stretched body of this young male lion in motion reveals exquisite beauty within the form of his torso. Large cats had cast a spell over me at a very early age, especially lions, and I have always said that the day I leave this earth their will most likely be a lion on my easel." John Banovich
I always advocate that artists should “draw from life” because you learn more about your subject in a few moments than any other way. While on safari, I spend considerable time drawing these amazing beasts, later using the thumbnails to recreate the finished sketch.
There is something pure, truthful and immediate in the simple lines of a sketch. I have been sketching in the field for many years, and nothing trains one’s eye to truly see and understand a subject better than life drawing. I use my sketches and studies for future works. Some may manifest into finished paintings and others remain in their original state, suspended in time as an illustration. John Banovich
