The keenest of sight belongs to the Lion Guard’s lookout, and this guide shows how to draw Ono the egret from The Lion King universe. Ono serves as the eyes of Kion’s team, spotting danger from above and providing tactical information. His intellectual nature and cautious personality balance out the more reckless members like Bunga.
