Divide the yellow mass into parts for modeling individual parts. The lion cub has a head and body, four legs and a tail, like any other animal.


To make the head, take a small yellow ball. Stick two yellow beads on it - these will be the cheeks. They can immediately be made shaggy with a stack. Attach a brown nose between the cheeks.


Stick a little above the cheeks of the eye. Turn the blank prepared for sculpting the body into a drop and stretch the tip a little.
