Step 6: Draw four lines under the hyena's body (two below each circle) as guides for the legs. The lines in front should have a slight curve to them. They should bend forward a bit at the end for the toes. The lines in the back should bend near the middle for the joint in the leg.

Step 7: Draw the hyena's eye on the upper left side of the circle. The shape of the eye is similar to a football. Draw a small circle inside the shape for the eyeball. Draw a tiny dot inside the circle for the pupil. Shade in the eyeball except for a tiny portion to represent glare. Shade the eyeball using a lighter value than the rest of the eye. Draw some lines above and below the hyena's eye for extra detail.

Step 9: Draw the rest of the hyena's muzzle using the arc as a guide. Darken the top edge of the arc. Draw a line under the nose that extends to the right for the mouth. Draw another long line under the hyena's mouth for the jaw.
