The Lion King - Simba and Mufasa Cuddling Drawing
Hello dear Steemians! Today I would like to share the drawing process of a lion cub cuddling with his daddy. I named them Simba and Mufasa because they are the characters of my favourite childhood movie which is The Lion King. I got "The Lion King Fever" as the new movie has been out. So, I decided to make a drawing of them today =)
Tools and Materials
- A sketchbook with decent papers
- A nomal 2B pencil to draw and shade soft areas
- A mechanical pencil with a 2B lead for details
- An eraser to correct mistakes
Step by Step Tutorial
I started my drawing with a mechanical pencil with a 2B lead to draw the outline of the lion cub. A cub is smaller than an adult lion and therefore I chose to draw it first. It is easier to add details later on than to start off the artwork with details.
Then, I drew a basic outline of the adult lion which is the father of the cute little cub.
After that, I added some details to the lion cub. The details are still a little vague although a basic idea on how the cub looks like can be seen.
I added some details on the lion's face. I created some basic shadows and highlights as well.
I added more details on the lion and started adding some mane as well.
I added more mane. I also added some details on his face, particularly the nose area. Now, the nose has a shape.
I added some details on the little cub on the ears and some shadows on his body.
I drew the body of the adult lion. I did not add proper details.
I switched to a normal 2B pencil to add more mane on the adult lion. It was softer than the mechanical pencil and I was able to build the mane up better.
I added more mane to the adult lion to make it look more majestic. I also added some details to his body. Then, I added some details to Simba like some spots and folds on his body.
I added another layer of mane on Mufasa to make his majestic mane denser. I was done with my artwork!
I signed my name :D Don't they look adorable cuddling like that?
This is a cropped version of the drawing. I hope that you enjoyed reading my post! Thank you for checking it out and have a great day ahead =)
