Description I guess it really shouldn't be called a "lion" tutorial since Anderson is a tiger, but I wanted to stay with the same title I had for the other two versions. xDD Besides, I draw them both the same anyway.

Anyway, I've had a lot of requests lately to update my "How to draw lions" tutorial so I whipped this up in like 10 mins. I tried ti include lots of steps to avoid adding any text and I figured it'd be more helpful in the end.

I'd love to hear if this helps any of you. <3

my trouble is the second step with the nose. i wish you would've added text there to explain how you make or got that shape

Frikin THANK YOU.

Jesus christ, I waded through a load of shit to find a tutorial reminiscent to TLK style. Sadly, I had to measure out my own proportions with various screenshots of Simba, but this really helped out..the style they draw the faces in is a pain without someone showing me the guidlines used.

That is just so helpful ! Thank you so much for creating it ! I was wondering how to do the heads in a good way since two weeks, you are like the light at the end of a dark road, thank you!

funlakota [2010-01-29 14:54:27 +0000 UTC]

Yay, a new tutorial! And I thought that cub looked like one of your tigers... Anyways, I love learning new ways to draw these guys. ^^

But I really wish someone would include a step-by-step guide for how to do the bodies too. I have a hard time doing them, esp. with getting the body in the right proportion in size to the head.

KaiserTiger In reply to funlakota [2010-01-29 20:20:45 +0000 UTC]

Yup. ;3 Anderson was my victim for my tut. >3 I don't draw him enough anyway. xD

Lawl, I was actually going to do a body tutorial with the head I drew for this one since everyone's been asking me for something like that too. :3 Though my style of drawing bodies isn't exactly based on shape proportions like my heads are, so I'm not sure it'd be as helpful. I'm still going to make on though.

notadonkey [2010-01-29 07:11:35 +0000 UTC]

You make it look so easy! x3 But I do the same thing..I always add details to the mouth area before continuing on with the head xDD
This will definitely help alot of people, I just know it :]

KaiserTiger In reply to notadonkey [2010-01-29 14:14:01 +0000 UTC]

D: I wish it were as easy as you make it sound. x3

Haha, really? That's awesome! Most people save the details for last. but why wait when you can finish them first? x3

TheSixtyFourth [2010-01-29 06:39:58 +0000 UTC]

I am going to give it a try as soon as possible. It looks great, although I can't find any bigger changes with the last tutorial... I think You were starting from the nose there.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

KaiserTiger In reply to TheSixtyFourth [2010-01-29 14:10:11 +0000 UTC]

I was, but I changed the way I started my muzzles. Instead of drawing a triangle for the nose, I make the basic shapes now and add the nose later. x3 It helps with positions better.

Hopes this helps you though!

TheSixtyFourth In reply to KaiserTiger [2010-01-29 14:15:38 +0000 UTC]

It will, certainly! Yet now I'm trying to use real lion's photos as references... Hm. It is going to be tough, but I've heard just too many times it is the best what I can do to learn to draw. xd

KaiserTiger In reply to TheSixtyFourth [2010-01-29 14:20:13 +0000 UTC]

Photos are the best for learning anatomy when your first starting out. Once you've drawn for awhile though. that anatomy kinda get stuck in your head. xD

TheSixtyFourth In reply to KaiserTiger [2010-01-29 14:25:22 +0000 UTC]

I hope so, heh... We will see how those references will make me draw. I can't use them properly yet, I think.

KaiserTiger In reply to Coppertooth [2010-01-29 14:08:49 +0000 UTC]

Lawl, I used to but I started starting (lol) at the nose...a long time ago. xD But I looked at that tutorial I made for you just before making this. ;3 I remembered you saying how much you liked it. <3 I thought I'd make an updated version. ;3

Anderson reminds me of Kovu

KaiserTiger In reply to YuseiFudoFan1 [2010-01-29 14:05:58 +0000 UTC]

x3 He was designed to be a bit like Kovu. Mainly just the fur on the side of his face though.

DarkChasmWolf In reply to ??? [2010-01-29 03:42:15 +0000 UTC]

Your nose design has changed. This may help me get inspiration back if i loose it. I"ve been dying to draw all my characters for my comic, but slacking off doesn't help. XD Awesome. I'll try it.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

KaiserTiger In reply to DarkChasmWolf [2010-01-29 14:18:14 +0000 UTC]

I guess a little. I started drawing the nose bridge before adding the nose since it helps me with muzzle position better. I noticed I draw my mouths in basically the same angle all the time so I needed a change. x3

Yea, you need to get working on that comic of yours. :/
