The mane is just a circle of bumps, and the lion hides in the middle of it. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then bring your lion to life.
Watch it first
Draw it step by step
New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.
Draw a ring of pointy tufts all the way round, like a big spiky sun.
A big round face inside the mane, with a little ear peeking out at each side.
Two dot eyes, a round nose, and a wide smile underneath.
A round tummy under the mane, wider at the bottom.
Four legs to sit on, and a long tail curling up behind.
Three whiskers on each cheek, and a fluffy tuft on the tail. Now this lion is yours.
Practice on paper
Faint lines to trace, all six mini steps, and an empty box to draw your own. One page, works in black and white.
The magic part
Finished drawing? In a Kubrio project, your kid turns this paper lion into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The little tail flick below is a wink; the real clips go much further.
