Draw a cast shadow underneath. This helps ground the hyena so it doesn't appear to be floating.
You can add more value throughout your hyena drawing for extra detail. It's a good idea to use reference for accuracy when shading the hyena's coat. This is a spotted hyena, so draw different-sized spots all over the body. Don't overthink it when adding the spots. Just draw blobs of a darker value randomly throughout the hyena's body. Remember to pause the "How to Draw a Hyena" video any time you need help.
