If you’re interested in sketching big cats, this one’s a solid subject to work on. I’m going to walk through how to draw a lioness roaring from a front view. It’s fairly complex due to the facial expression, symmetrical layout, and visible teeth, but it’s manageable with some patience.
Key Details of the Roaring Lioness Face
- Large open mouth with sharp upper and lower teeth
- Wrinkled brow with focused eyes
- Rounded ears angled slightly back
- Visible nose bridge and nostrils
- Lower jaw structure with curved inner mouth lines
If you want to expand your big cat drawings, I’d also suggest trying a tiger face or a cheetah next. And there’s also a guide for lioness’ head in profile.
