Learn More About The Lion Cub Drawing
Though native to just one continent, lions are one of the most recognizable animals in the world. Spend some time with a baby lion as you complete this lion cub drawing.
Lion cubs grow up in family groups called prides. Create your own pride when you learn how to draw a maned lion. Lions with manes are males, but this cub won't grow one until he grows up.
Most of the pride members are female lions. You can draw a lioness, or many lionesses. There are often up to 20 females in a pride.
The lion cub in this picture is realistic, featuring a lot of detail. You can also learn how to draw a lion cub in cartoon style. Check out this Simba from The Lion King drawing.
