Okay so let’s see, so far I have submitted tutorials on three characters from The Lion King movie. That means I already showed you how to draw Scar, Mufasa and Nala. I figured that I would submit another tutorial on a Lion King character that would make the character collection semi complete. Today you will be learning how to draw Simba the one animated character that makes the movie worth watching. Simba is the son of Mufasa and he is air to the throne to one day rule over the Pride Lands. There is just one problem though, Scar wants that position more than any of the lions know, including his brother Mufasa. Simba loves his father very much and he wants to one day be brave and bold like his old man. Knowing that this pint size lion will one day rule, Scar concocts a master plan to rid the cub forever and take Mufasa out of the picture. Simba is blamed for the death of his dad when he tries to rescue him from a stampede of running wildebeast that the hyenas chased down the gorge. The little cub runs away and finds himself in the middle of no where. As he lays there unconscious, a warthog and a meerkat find the dehydrated cub and bring him to a jungle oasis. There he grows into an adult resembling his father Mufasa. He returns to the pride lands after Nala finds him hidden away from the world and tells him how bad it is at the Pride Lands. Simba eventually takes over the land and becomes king. The character of Simba was sweet, innocent and funny. The writers of the movie really did do a good job. He was an easy character to draw out because he is round and bulky with little detail. This tutorial will show you how easy it is to learn how to draw Simba from the Lion King step by step. Maybe next week I will do another tutorial on either Pumbaa or Timon. Well have fun and remember, keep drawing no matter how hard it may seem. Never give up, never except mediocre work, and practice, practice, practice, because practice truly does make perfect.

STEP 1.
Start by making a lion stick figure. Make two shapes, one for the head and the other for his body. Draw a connecting neck line and then sketch in the facial guides.
STEP 2.
Using the guides you made in step one, begin drawing the snout, as well as the jawline and chin. Be sure that Simba has some long chin hair.
STEP 3.
Continue to sketch out Simba's head starting with the hair cheeks, and then draw the brow arch, as well as the top of his head. You all know how Simba takes pride in his mane, be sure to draw in some fuzz for it. Make the shapes for the ears and then move along to step four.
STEP 4.
Now that his blocky head is all drawn in, you can sketch in the brow, eyeballs, color in the pupils and then draw the nose, nostrils, and markings on his face. To end this step you will also have to draw in the ear detailing as well as sketch in some whiskers.
STEP 5.
You are almost dine guys so hang on a little longer. When you start sketching out Simba's body be sure to use long lining to create a fluffy look especially on his chest. Draw in his big paws, and then move to step six.
STEP 6.
Draw the other front leg as well as the paw and all the toes.
STEP 7.
Draw in the back part of Simba's body as well as his hind leg and back paw. Be sure to draw the toes rounded and then move along to step eight when you are done.
STEP 8.
Finish Simba off by draw his long tail as well as the tuft at the end of his tail. Draw in the markings on his lion body and you are ready to clean up the drawing.
STEP 9.
Here is the finished line art when you are all done. You can color Simba in and even draw him next to Nala.Comments: Post Comment
