One of Kiara’s closest friends from the Pride Lands appears in this guide showing how to draw Tiifu, the loyal lion cub from The Lion Guard. Tiifu spends most of her time with Kiara and Zuri in The Lion King universe, often getting into adventures around Pride Rock. Her gentle personality and supportive nature make her a memorable recurring character in the series.
Sketching Tiifu Step by Step
Work through 29 illustrated steps that build Tiifu from basic shapes to her complete standing pose with head tilted in her friendly expression!
Tiifu’s Visual Traits
- Small tuft of fur on top of her head
- Large rounded ears with visible inner detail
- Soft friendly smile with gentle eyes
- Slim cub body in a standing position
- Head tilted slightly showing curiosity
- Four paws with toe line details
- Tail with leaf-shaped tuft at the end

Tiifu shares similar proportions with other lion cubs like Kion but has softer features. Her best friend Zuri has a different coloring and attitude, making them an interesting pair to draw together. The adult lionesses such as Nala and grown-up Kiara show what these cubs will look like when they mature.
