Like with all first step you need to make some basic guidelines to aid you in your drawing quest. As you see here all you have to do is draw a circle, and then sketch in the face guides.

Simply draw out the shape of the lion's nose and don't forget to include the details as well as the nostrils.

Description: Yesterday I was drawing another animal during my Livestream session and I have to say, I had so much fun. Everyone was great and I really love hanging out and talking to you all whenever I draw Live. Today I will be submitting the lion that I drew for you all yesterday. Here is "how to draw a lion roaring", step by step. The drawing took me a little over an hour, but that’s because I was pausing a lot trying to fix my keyboard and mouse. I am really pleased with how my version of this type of lion came out, and I think it will be a good challenging lesson for all you artists that like tackling challenging stuff. The intense stare and ferocious display of teeth really gives the expression that this lion means business. If you are a novice artist and want to tackle this tutorial, go right ahead. I must warn you though; you may come across some difficulty due to the fact that there is a lot of detailing and definition going on. I feel confident that if you take your time and proceed with patience and care you will bang out drawing a lion roaring of your own. One of my favorite animals to draw is the lion, so making this one was super fun. Enjoy guys and remember to leave a comment, rating, or fav if you like or dislike what you see. I shall return because there is one more lesson going up for the day. Peace out people and good luck!
