Step 1: Begin your lion by drawing a large circle for the head.
Step 2: Add two half circles on top of the head for the ears.
Step 3: Draw a jagged line around the head for the lion's hair. The hair of the lion is called the mane.
Step 4: Shade in the mane around the lion's head.
Step 5: Draw the body by connecting a long ellipse to the head.
Step 6: To add the back leg draw a small ellipse and connect it to the body. Add a tiny ellipse to the bottom of that for the foot.
Step 7: Next draw the front legs by adding two skinny ellipses to the front of the body. Don't forget the feet!
Step 8: Now add two eyes, a nose and a mouth to the face of the lion.
Step 9: For the last step add some short lines around the nose for whiskers. Your lion is done!
