How to Draw Mufasa

In Disney’s film The Lion King, Mufasa was king and had to take care of the animals that lived in his kingdom, the Pride Lands. When his son Simba was young, Mufasa was murdered by his brother Taka (better known as Scar). When you draw him, there are certain features to exaggerate.

Start with a circle for the head and the line of action

Draw two guidelines (one vertical and one horizontal) to indicate his facial features.

Draw two ovals (one big and one small) for his body.

Connect the two ovals with wavy lines.

Draw his two front legs.

Draw his two back legs.
