Description because so many people wonder how i draw lions...
Be warned that i have very weird methods and that there are probably other tutorials out there that will help you better than i can.
Download for better view (of words)
On a side note: Not all lions simile like that and all are different looking, the one i have drawn is your generic simba clone. Use referances for different characters, poses, and expressions to help make your lions more unique
Enjoy and fav if you use!
edit: noticed that i spelled drawing wrong thanks....i can't spell

sorta dragons and do ya know anythin about manga or anime??

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Callica In reply to Boribaby4 [2008-11-16 16:49:40 +0000 UTC]

dragons...hmm let see. When i draw dragons, if i'm looking for dragon from a specific culture or time, i look up dragons of that specific culture or kind (ex: chinese dragons, european dragons etc) If i want a dragon to have its own unique look, i usually look at different kinds of lizards and pull different body parts that i like to create an over all look. Refs are always good to have handy. Mango and Anime are the same thing in drawing theory. Anime is in truth ANIMated manga. There are many different styles of mango/anime because each show/artist has THEIR own unique style. Try watching several animes, pausing the show at certain times and trying to draw the figures. These should be quick sketches so you can keep watching the show this is the method i used to learn how to draw lions. By watching or even looking at pictures and using those as a referance, you're brain will get used to the style and lines of the manga/anime and you'll eventually be able to draw figures in that style without a ref. hope that helped
