I usually draw almost nothing but canines, so I really needed practice with drawing other animals. Here I tried to draw a lion. Well, a lionESS to be exact. Trouble is, I hardly draw girls either. So I had trouble making it look feminine. Also, this one here looks a bit too much like a cub.

So... tips? I was thinking that it looks young because of the short muzzle, though I was thinking if the nose was too big, it might not look feminine. I guess it would be easier to show it was a girl through hairstyle... but how about through the face itself?
