How to Draw Ono: The Lion Guard’s Keen-Eyed Egret

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.

Drawing Ono the Egret

This tutorial spans 18 steps, guiding you through Ono’s unique bird anatomy from his long pointed beak to his striped legs and the Lion Guard mark on his wing!

Ono’s Distinct Features

  • Long sharp beak pointing to the left
  • Large eye with heavy eyelid giving a serious look
  • Crest of feathers flowing backward from his head
  • Thin long neck connecting head to body
  • Lion Guard symbol visible on his wing
  • Compact oval body with folded wings
  • Long thin legs with striped markings
  • Dark feet with splayed toes

Ono’s bird design stands apart from the mammal characters in the series. He works alongside Fuli the cheetah and Beshte the hippo, each bringing unique abilities to the team. For more characters from the show, try drawing Kiara who appears throughout The Lion Guard series.
