I drew this in pencil, then took a photo on my phone and coloured it in Photoshop, hence why the lighting is weird. I could've spent more time on this but I don't have a tablet yet so redrawing lines would've been a massive pain, and it's just a reference pic anyway. The grid pattern is vaporwave inspired. On the back there'll be the two lines wrapping around with a circle between them. I'm probably also going to add more orc stuff next time, like some spikes or something
Details of fursona/OC are likely to change, but here are the basics:
Name: Ro
Gender: Non-binary femme
Pronouns: they/them
Species: Lion-orc hybrid
Also the hair kind of looks like toothpaste lol

you're on the right path, but I would recommend taking some time to study anatomy
the biggest problem with the face for me is that it looks a little too squashed, the nose needs to be curving around the face more than pushing up
and don't forget lion's face tends to be more of a triangular form rather than a circular (http://pixdaus.com/files/items/pics/7/84/542784_81cef138c75698faddafee92d42c0cc5_large.jpg, http://cs403222.vk.me/v403222231/48ad/l2gT5FzIY9k.jpg) using back shapes like triangles and circles is a great way to build form, you may also want to start referencing bones as well, so you can better understand how the head works, http://www.sonoranskulls.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/mtn-lion-head-damage.jpg
and for the humanoid anatomy, I won't get too in depth into since I'm just starting to study it myself XD just start gathering yourself up a collection of images to reference from when you draw, and take a look at some anatomy tutorials as well (Sycra on Youtube does some really great human anatomy tutorials, and Will Terrel does as well, I suggest checking them out if you get a chance!)
hope that helped~
