Good day adorable kids, lovely friends of kids, indefatigable parents of kids, and my fellow steemkids village people. I'm delighted I could join this week's contest. As always, I believe everyone is good when it comes to the art of drawing. But if for any reason you ever feel you're not equal to the task, there are always a few hacks and tricks to get you ahead. So, today, I'll be using a simple trick to draw my lion, lit screen tracing.

Today I'm sharing with you the steps I followed in drawing a Lion's Cub. But let me start by telling you a little about lions.

• Lions are a bread of large cats that live mostly in the forests. Some people keep them in zoos and circuses for exhibition and tourist attraction to make money.

• Lions, especially their young ones (called cubs) are adorable, playful, shy but not timid, and a real delight to play with or watch.

• Lions have some desirable traits which I admire. They are astute and sharp and courageous when faced with opponents physically bigger than them.

• Generally, I love Lions, be they young or grown because they have a way of making one feel both scared and elated at the same time. You don't want to come face to face with this brute beast, I can assure you. You can't even stand it's thunderous roars.

• I haven't come face to face with lions before. Wouldn't wish to untill later on when lions have been tamed by their maker to be more docile and friendly. But I have seen them often in television documentaries and on the internet.

• Finally, I believe lions are beneficial to people as they can teach important leadership and followership qualities. Lions are very respectful and submissive to the Kings of their pride (family). The King of the pride in turn is self-sacrificing when it comes to caring for the welfare of the entire pride. He'll lead the hunt for food and respond first to any external aggression towards the pride. These are qualities every leader, especially in the family setting should cultivate.
