How to Draw a Really Cute Lion

This step by step instructional drawing lesson is designed for kids 5 years and up. How to draw a cute, little, colorful lion can be completed with a few easy steps. Everything can be broken down into shapes. When we start to see things that way it will help us achieve nicer drawings and not let us feel overwhelmed. I started my drawing by making a heart with a flat bottom. Add what looks like two rainbow lines at the top and an oval in the middle of the flat bottomed heart. Now when you flip your paper you’ll be able to see it starting to look like a heart. Draw a line from the middle, bottom of the oval to the center of the heart. A squashed “M” can help you add a tongue in the mouth. Two ovals above the nose will be the eyes. Draw two more ovals inside to make the pupils. These will be colored black. Leave 2 small circles inside the pupils off to the side to be the white reflection in the eye. Beside the nose, add 3 dots on each side with 3 whiskers coming from then. Two circles and the side of the head can be drawn to make ears. Lastly, draw the mane. The hair starts thick and comes to a point. Change the size and direction of each block of the mane. Now it’s time to color! Use lots of colors and shades. Mix colors on top of each other and try to cover up any white space from the paper. Sign your work! Be proud of what you’ve done and feel free to upload to Instagram a picture of your drawing (@tupperberryart).
