I think I've outdone myself in terms of cuteness this time. :D

I realized I haven't done very many drawings featuring Kiara ever since I made the switch to Photoshop, and I didn't want to feel like I was giving her the cold shoulder like that. (Lord knows the fandom already does that as it is... :( So I went ahead and whipped this up to fix that. Here, Kiara's trying to teach her first cub Kenta how to walk, since he's about the age when he's old enough to try. But for now, the baby cub is still content with crawling around like he's used to, making his way towards his mother one day while she encourages him. Kenta will learn to walk soon enough; He just has to take "baby steps" is all...

Okay, I sincerely apologize for that terrible pun. XP

Originally I wanted to include Kovu somewhere in this too, but I couldn't find a way to fit him in without making it look wonky or forced, so I just decided to leave it as is. To compensate, I'd say that Kovu's just somewhere off-screen, teaching his and Kiara's daughter, Sala, how to walk at the same time as Kenta. Just one of those "d'awwwww" moments, isn't it?
