Today on ‘Draw with Ed Vere’ we learn how to draw a REAL lion. 

Last year I travelled to Kenya with The Born Free Foundation as their artist in residence, to learn about their conservation work, paint lions and to start writing a book. Today we'll draw Kimeu, a magnificent lion I encountered in Meru National Park. 

Today's drawing is a bit more complicated than usual, but you can do it! Remember that you can pause the video whenever you need to catch up. Happy drawing!

Please do share your drawings with me using #DrawWithEdVere
