Look at this powerful creature! It is a lion totem. A totem is a special symbol that represents strength, courage, and protection. People carve totems out of wood or stone to honor animals they admire.

This lion is standing up on his back legs — just like a person standing tall. His front legs are swinging through the air. He is waving his paws around. He looks like he is showing off his strength, ready to fight or protect.

His tail is lifted high. It waves like a flag. This makes the lion look even bigger and more powerful. Look at his mouth. His tongue is sticking out. His tongue shows that he is fierce and ready to defend.

The lion is a symbol of strength, bravery, and leadership. People use lion totems to remind themselves to be brave and to protect the people they love. If you like this totem, let’s follow today’s tutorial to learn how to draw it!
