Step 1: Draw a circle near the middle of the page as a guide for the front part of the running lion's body. To draw the circle, first make four marks to determine its height and width. Then connect the marks using curved lines. If you're struggling to draw the circle, just trace the outer rim of a circular object like a coin or a lid.

Step 2: To the left, draw another circle using the four-marks method as a guide for the back portion of the lion's body. This circle should be smaller than the first one. Sketch lightly so that it's easy to erase if you make a mistake. Don't draw the circles too close together, otherwise the lion's body will be too short.
