Now, sketch out the shape of the face structure and then be sure to draw in the hair line. Notice how the hair line has sharp points.

Continue to draw out the brows and add some thickness at the ends. When that is done make two wrinkled creases above the nose to finish off the brows. Next, draw in the eye balls, and then the mouth.

Lion-O has a hairstyle very similar to the Dragon Ball Z figures. Draw out his long spiked style the same way you would for any DBZ character. When that is done incorporate the cat like ears and then draw in some sideburns.

Description: Guys, guess what? Dawn's here, back with the tutorial butcher knife and we are gonna slice up some ham this time! So, if you haven't heard already, the new ThunderCats anime is premiering on Cartoon Network this blossoming Summer. For all those fans of Lion-O, be sure to check out this new cartoon series! Anyways, let's cut to the middle of the beef and learn “how to draw Lion-O" from ThunderCats, step by step. I had fun drawing the new style for this character; originally he had thick thighs, super high tights to the mid crotch of his legs, making him appear stripper-ous, and a very masculine face with KISS styled eye makeup. Honestly, this style repelled me from liking the character. I guess you could call Lion-O the two-legged Aslan of the ThunderCat world. He's supposedly the king of Middle Earth or something like that. I hear too much of Middle Earth through my ears, so I get confused with which is fiction or non-fiction. Well my dear viewers, I'm going leave ya'll so you'll slug onto the tutorial now. Thank you so much for viewing, and don't forget to comment, rate, and show me your version of Lion-O. Have fun, and have fun!
