Description
I personally despise drawing him...so much is wrong with his design...BUT you guys wanted him, so you got him.
(The only reason it is colored is because my pen that I used for the other tutorials died. So I used my markers.)
Tips Continued
1) I don't draw Lowemon as true to the reference as the other Legendary Warriors. Why? Because there are NUMEROUS PROPORTION ERRORS with how he's animated in the series and even just on pictures. Seriously, LOOK AT HIS REFERENCES, one picture has his head sunk far into his chest, another has it longer necked but smaller with his helmet just devouring his face. So here's how I fix that. Another thing is that I ALTERED THE SHAPE OF THE LIONS' HEADS, and MADE THEM LOOK MORE LIKE LIONS and not boxes...at least Lobomon's helmet actually copied the shape of a wolf head CORRECTLY.
2) BAsic overview of how to draw his HELMET SHAPE and MASK. Pretty self explanatory.
3) I just drew a full reference instead of a pose this time.
-His body is TRIANGULAR, like Lobo and Aguni's are. He's the SKINNIEST out if the three, and has very SLENDER legs and arms UNLIKE the other male Legendary Warriors (besides Kuma) of the group.
-He has LONG LEGS, which are kinda graceful because of the way his armor is shaped.
-His GAUNTLETS are TAPERED. They have a RIDGE around his wrist, which I think acts like a guard.
Basic Armor forms:
-Lions have a CIRCULAR SHAPE, NOT SQUARE (look up some realistic lion drawing tutorials, they help a lot.)
-Very angular and almost robot edges of the armor
4) Thank *insert deity you worship/know of here* , he has an easier eye to replicate. Very much like Aguni's shape, just not shaded the same. (FunFact: As it says on the page, he's the only other Warrior of the group besides Kuma who doesn't have their eyes covered or shaded by a mask.)
Well, I hope this is helpful.
On another note, should I make these types of tutorials for the Original Legendary Warriors going into 'My Frontier' ?(Human spirits only)
Lowemon (c) Digimon

I'm just gonna say it here: THANK YOU FOR THE FAVES!

Gah, these tutorials are useful. Did you do Lowe's eye with marker? It looks very cool.

Yes, I did this one with copic markers instead of the pen. My pen died, so I decided that color was way better.

Well... I think the tutorial is amazing. If you showed just the helmet was good enough, but I am, pleased see the way you show the armour attached to the body and the chest plate.... and I live your hatching style and work with the markers ^^

...Yeah, he definitely looks the hardest to draw. Sometimes I find myself wishing they'd done him a little differently. I don't know how, exactly, but...
I'd love to see something like this for your warriors.

New markers I see- We have color! Lowemon is by far the biggest pain in the but to draw and draw accurately without a reference. These are very nice tips!

Thank you. Well I always had those markets, I just never used them on a tutorial.

It's actually quite amazing how I haven't noticed these inconsistencies in LΓΆwemon's design, thanks for pointing them out!
Really good job! *favorites

Thanks.
The inconsistencies with his design aren't as blatant, like they are with Aguni, Lobo, Kaze and Beetle. It seems that Kumamon is the only one that they draw okay.

Yeah, maybe because Kuma is the only one without a mask

Or because he's so tiny, and has a major lack of detail.

Now that you've done all of the original warriors AND Lowemon I will forever be indebted to you. Lol. This is absolutely amazing. I love that you did one of these for all six plus the fact that you give wonderful details and hints and tips.
As for the OC Warriors, it'd be very cool to see but I say that you only do it if (1) you feel comfortable doing it and (2) if you think you have the time to do it for them/us.

Thank you very much.
I'd only do the OC warriors as a style change, showing how to portray them in the digimon style.
I'd definitely ask permission to draw each character first, and I draw these in school, so it's now really to big of a deal.

You are beyond welcome.
REALLY?!
That's still amazing. I'd really love to see the OC warriors drawn in that style.

(Yes, you were the next one to post your references, so it's official. Whether she noticed it or not doesn't matter cause I was keeping up on who got done first.)
Okay. I'll get to it.

Well thank has me both happy and relieved. 
Can't wait.

I think making tutorials for the original warriors would make sense, but shouldn't the people that made them make tutorials (since they know the process of making them best?) I'm just saying.
On another note, nice tutorials!

Well, my thoughts wouldn't be like "draw this this way," it'd be a style transfer; just showing people how to draw the other warriors as they'd appear in the digimon style.
Thank you.
