Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
Start by sketching the face of the hyena. Draw irregular circles for the eyes and nose. In each eye, draw two consecutive smaller circles. Shade between them to indicate students. Shade the small ovals in the nose to represent the nostrils. Draw curved lines above the eyes to indicate the eyelids and another line to connect the eyes and nose.
Step 2
Use curved lines to outline the face contour of the hyena. Note the overlap of the feathers and the contours of the open mouth. Draw a curved line below the nose and at the corner of the mouth.
Step 3
Detail of teeth and tongue. Use curved lines to outline triangular teeth along the upper and lower jaws. Note that the fangs are larger than the rest. Use curved lines to outline the blade, noting the line in the middle.
Step 4
Draw the ears using pairs of long curved lines. Connect them at the top using a series of “U” shaped lines. Use pairs of lines that meet at jagged points to outline the head, including the inner ear, the tuft of hair between the ears, and one side of the face.
Step 5
Use a series of overlapping curves to outline the hairy neck and chest. Then use a pair of lines to outline the legs. Connect the lines at the end using a series of short, overlapping lines, forming the toes.
Step 6
Use a long, curved line to outline the hyena’s sloping back and top of the tail. Draw the bottom of the tail using curved lines that are joined.
Step 7
Draw some curved lines to outline the hairy belly, shins, and base of the neck. Then extend a pair of lines to form the lower leg. Connect the lines at the end using overlapping curves, forming the foot and toe.
Step 8
Draw the hind legs. Use a series of curved lines to outline the top of the feathers, then extend the pair of lines for the bottom of the legs. Connect them using overlapping curves to form the feet.
Step 9
Draw a series of lines that meet at gentle or jagged points at the back of the neck to form the mane or nape. Draw circles, ovals, and irregular shapes on the animal’s body to indicate its spots.
Step 10
Color your cartoon hyena. Hyenas are usually brown, cream, and gray with darker patches.
