How do you draw a lioness?

Answer 1

I have found that the best way to draw a lion/lioness is to start with a thin circular line outlining the head with another circle for the snout/mouth, with an oval for the body and the same for legs. Then add in a nose, and a mouth, after add the leading line of the bridge of the nose to near the eye, after that is done complete the eye which looks almost like a sideways diamond with rounded tops and bottoms. Shade in the outer ridges, and fill in the under eye slightly darker leaving a white spot for the pupil. Add texture to the torso, and create the tail which is roughly the same length as the rest of the body. Create the legs and the paws, and voilà you're done.
