Let’s go over how to draw a lioness yawning in 3/4 view. The angle here gives us a nice look at the mouth fully open while still seeing part of the head’s structure. The drawing itself has some complex curves, especially around the mouth and teeth, but it’s very manageable if you take it section by section.
Key Details To Watch When Drawing The Yawning Lioness
- Head positioned in 3/4 view, slightly turned from full side view
- Closed eyes with smooth lines above the nose area
- Nose placed above the wide open upper lip with nostrils visible
- Muzzle stretched with visible wrinkle lines and whisker pores
- Large open mouth showing long top and bottom fangs
- Tongue visible inside the mouth, slightly curled
- Lower jaw pulled downward, revealing additional teeth between fangs
- Inner ear structure visible with simple fur texture lines
- Light neck outline connecting below the head
After you finish this lioness yawning drawing, you can also practice similar studies like a roaring lioness and a mountain lion, a tiger or even a wolf howling for more animal drawing practice. There’s also a huge guide for male lions.
Color Indicators I Use For This Drawing Guide
To make it easier to follow the steps, I use this color marking system:
- Red Color: shows the current step you are working on.
- Black Color: shows the lines you have already drawn in previous steps.
- Grey Color: shows the basic sketch outlines to help you place the elements correctly.

Once you finish your yawning lioness drawing, feel free to share your artwork in the comments under the pinned post on Pinterest. Many artists post their results there, and it’s always interesting to see how each drawing turns out.
