Steps To Draw A Lion
The Lion is a wild animal. The jungle is its home. It is called “The King of the Jungle” because of its massive size and raw power. It has a strong build, four legs, a large head with mane (in males), a tail and two glowing eyes which make it look ferocious.
Their sharp claws and strong paws help them to hunt animals for their food. Lions eat the flesh of other animals and they are very fast runners. The loud roaring of Lions could be heard from a distance of 8 kilometres.
The Lion is famous for its roar and hunting ability. It lives in a ‘pride.’
A Lion is the king of the jungle so we are starting from a body and end by colouring The King (Lion).
