What's helped me a lot is drawing over pictures of lions, or referencing from lion skull pictures

I believe the first thing you could start working on is your leg/foot and face anatomy :)

Would you mind if I did some red correction lines over?

Of course!

@Evagoblin I've tried that in the past with other animals/people, it did help me a bit so I'll try the trace and learn method (myfriendcallsitthat)

If you want I can give you some of my art to trace over (It's pretty cartoony, if that's ok) As long as you don't try to sell/claim it at your own, I'd love to help out!

A super quick sketchy thing of how the leg anatomy could look a tad better. (Please ignore the face, I haven't drawn an lion's open mouth in about two years >n<)
