In The Lion King hyenas are drawn with long curved necks and large round heads. Their manes are short and their tails are long and bushy. Their fur is striped or spotted and their legs are short and stocky.
When drawing a hyena from The Lion King start with the head. Draw a large round circle for the hyena’s head and add a smaller circle inside for the muzzle. Then draw two curved lines coming down from the muzzle to create the hyena’s neck.
Next add the hyena’s mane. Start at the top of the head and draw a short curved line down the back of the neck. Then add a few shorter lines coming off of the main mane line to create the individual hairs.
Now draw the hyena’s body. Start at the base of the neck and draw a long curved line down to the ground. Then add two short stocky legs.
Finally add the hyena’s tail. Start at the base of the spine and draw a long curved line out to the side. Then add a few shorter lines coming off of the main tail line to create the individual hairs.
