The sassy and vain lion cub from The Lion Guard takes center stage in this tutorial showing how to draw Zuri in her sitting pose. Zuri is one of Kiara’s best friends in The Lion King universe, always concerned about her appearance and often complaining about getting dirty. She hangs out with Tiifu around Pride Rock throughout the series.
