Draw Roaring Lion 1

Step 1: Draw two circles as guides for the lion's body. First draw some marks for the height and width of the circle, then connect the marks using curved lines. The circles don't have to be perfect. They're just guides. If you do want a perfect circle, trace the rim of a glass or anything circular. The circle on the right should be smaller and placed higher. The edges of the circles should almost touch.

Step 2: Draw another circle on the top left side as a guide for the roaring lion's head. This circle should be about one- fourth the size of the first one. Don't place it too far away, either.
