Before you post your art to ask for critique, please read these tutorials. They explain the basic principles of drawing and figure drawing. Most posts where these basics are missing will never get a response, as people are quite frankly sick and bored of explaining over and over that you would have to pretty much learn how to draw first, before you could improve.

Hello, folks!
So... I'm trying to make a fanart of a character from Magic: the gathering and, as you can probably see.... there is something wrong with this lion's face here, though I have absolutely no idea of what is the problem or how to fix it.
Any help?

19/05/03(Fri)11:52 No.1827 - 1827 It's got a pretty uniform style that matches the rest of the drawing. Looks lionish- though it might just be a bit too small. If you disregard the mane, you can kind of see from his forehead and ears that his head isn't very big- I think the shoulders are actually a bit bigger than his skull. Maybe that's what you're seeing.

25/07/23(Wed)14:55 No.1923 - 1923 The lower lip might be pushed too forward and the shading besides makes it look drawn too taut against the chin. It gives the impression he's doing a Skyler White, Yo face with his mouth where the rest of his face isn't matching that energy. As far as I can tell, Ajani's actual face is a stock-standard lion's which isn't really the pinnacle of expressiveness, so you might have to open the mouth to squeeze out an on-model smile.
