Draw Lion In Python Using Turtle Graphics

Published November 11, 2023 by Jarvis Silva

In this tutorial I will show you how to draw lion in python using the turtle module, A lion is known as king of the jungle so to draw him in python will be a intresting program.

To create this python program we will use the turtle module as I said earlier. Turtle is a built in graphic drawing library in python which allows us to draw anything in python so let’s see how to use it to draw a Lion.

Python Program To Draw Lion

import turtle

turtle.Screen().bgcolor("green")

t = turtle.Turtle()
t.pensize(10)

def go(x,y):
    t.penup()
    t.goto(x,y)
    t.pendown()
    
go(0,-150)

# Brown Hair
t.fillcolor("#8a4528")
t.seth(60)
t.begin_fill()
t.circle(-280,40)
t.circle(200,180)
t.seth(158)
t.circle(200,180)
t.circle(-280,40)
t.end_fill()

# Left Ears
t.pensize(7)
go(-125,165)
t.fillcolor("#cfac13")
t.seth(0)
t.begin_fill()

turtle.done()

Above is the complete python code for drawing a lion as you can it is quite big code it uses various turtle functions to create each part of a lion, You can click on the above run code button and it will open a turtle compiler paste the above code in it and run. Below is the output you will get.

As you can see this program drawn a cute lion face, I hope you found this tutorial intresting and if you want more programs like this do check out below and do share it with your friends they will be amazed. Thank you for reading, Have a nice day 😊
