Overall it's a little stiff, especially the tail and hind leg, but it's still nice. I don't like the face much, it looks a little glarey and I don't think any real life lion has a face like that.

Unless you were being conceptual. Then yeah, it rocks.

It looks like he's in pain... And the muscle on his back, the bumpy parts, look random. The eyes don't look very lion-ish unless you were going for a cartoon character. Otherwise you've done him very well, better than my attempt at a lioness.

I think the shading could be improved and the others are right about him being stiff but generally he's really good. I like how you've done his paws and the mane is lovely. Some good, bold colours too and the face expression is strange for a lion but I like it. Good work!

He looks like a lion that belongs on a school crest or something. In that light, I like him! :D

I like the head and the body. His tail seems a bit off and the back hind leg is a bit stiff. it needs to be a little more flowing and natural. Overall a really nice drawing. I like the choice of color.

I like the mane and face, but the legs are a bit stiff. Nice looking, though. Better than anything I could draw. :)

He does look kind of stiff, especially around the hindquarters. His mane is probably his best feature.

I like the colouring! Very... liony, for lack of a better word. Forgive me. xD

It's not a bad drawing, but the physical coloring is terrible. The shading is all in different directions.

Just two problems:
The coloring. You can see the drawing patterns and there is no shade in the picture.

Overall it is really good. I love the amount of detail you put in.

I have a few problems areas: the face, the front legs, and the coloring.

The face is very detailed, which is good, but I feel like it's more of a 'humanized' face than a lion face, maybe widen it a little?

The front legs are a little too bowed I think, they do have another joint like a knee there, true it isn't as prominent as the ones in the back but they do exist! Hehe

The coloring does detract from the piece as a whole. The lines in the body are killer, maybe try something else next time like oils or paint or even broad-ranged markers?

Overall though, the detail is nice and it's a wonderful start, just a few nitpicks!

i think it is good, you already mentioned the crayons, so no critique there.
the only thing i would do is raise the back up towards the tail.
but this a very good drawing, i love the face and mane. and you have the body proportioned right with the head. awesome job
