Choose the Line tool and a thickness for it. Make short zigzag strokes releasing the click to make the lines. Make sure the lines are touching. That is to say, there are no gaps between the lines. Remember you can undo mistakes by pressing Ctrl Z.
Complete the zigzags around the Lion’s head.
Choose a color for the mane.
Click the outline with the Bucket tool, using the same color you used for the mane.
