How to draw a lion?
We have added images at the bottom of this blog article.
Step 1: Start with an oval for the body and a smaller circle for the head.
Step 2: Draw small circles at equal distances. This is where the lion's feet will be later. Also add two ears and a nose.
Step 3: Four other circles will form the joints of the lion. Pay particular attention to the spacing and position, otherwise the legs will not look good later.
Step 4: The moons can be drawn free or jagged. The legs, on the other hand, must be drawn with precision.
Step 5: Once you're done drawing all the legs, you can erase the circles. You don't need them anymore. When you are satisfied, you can trace the image nicely with a black fineliner. Then erase all pencil lines.
Step 6: Do you think so?Would you like to colour the lion? The best way to do this is to use two different shades of brown: a light brown and a dark brown. You can also use yellow for the body. If you use coloured pencils, you can easily draw a thin layer over the yellow with a brown one. This way you get a nice light brown.
