When I was in art school, my professor told us "simplify the complex." A lion may look difficult, but break it down:- Think of the body like a cat’s but bulkier. - Mane = curly lines radiating around the head. - Eyes should show depth, so add a shadow above them. - For realism, look at lion photographs and observe muscle structure. Once you have the base, practice shading. Shading is what turns a cartoonish sketch into something majestic.
