I finished this picture earlier, but am still not thrilled with the mane. Before I started, I did a search for tutorials on animal fur, but wasn't really able to find too much on painting longer length fur. I know lions manes are pretty rough to the touch, but am kinda new at attempting to paint hair (just began within the last year) and was hoping for some constructive criticism.

Any & all info would be humbly appreciated & I thank ya'll in advance.
