    Picture of lion lying down?

    I'm trying to draw a picture with a lion lying down on his back, and I can't seem to find any reference pictures (TLK style, not real life). I've seen some where they're lying on their side, but not completely on their back. Does anyone happen to know of a reference picture I could use? I've looked through all screenshots from the movies but they're always in a hammock :P. Thanks so much!

    I don't mean to spam, hence why it's in the elephant graveyard, and I didn't really know which thread this would belong in.. sorry guys! Mods if this needs to be merged or deleted thats totally ok.

    I know you said you didn't want real life reference pictures but.. I really hope you reconsider. Not only will drawing from real life references make your life easier because there is a larger abundance of full-body photos available, but also there is nothing really about the TLK style lions that is easier to analyze for reference purposes than a photo. TLK style lions aren't really that all that stylized compared to many other cartoons. It doesn't matter which one you use, you'll still have to analyze the positions of the limbs, the proportions, anatomy in general.. When using TLK style references, someone has just already done the extra step of cartoonizing the image for you, which doesn't really aid you at trying to recreate the pose yourself. So I highly recommend learning to use real life photos as reference. You'll be glad that you did, in the long run, if your goal is to improve as an artist. If not, then that's okay too.

    Now, that said, here are some references, both pictures and photos :

    Movie screenshots (You are right, there are not too many shots where the whole body is shown.. But the best you can do is reference different body parts from different shots):
