So in my signature, you'll find a link to my art stream, which most of my streams are recorded and saved, but there's quite a few of them, so here are the ones I find most helpful ^^
The Drawing of Albus (And Markel, who's a son of Mariet.)

Skip ahead to about 8:45, as the first few minutes are just me setting things up and a sketch I scrapped.
This one gives a good example for drawing Snow Lions, or coloring any white lion for that matter.
Using Krita for Lineart
Link to video.
Krita is an amzaing free program for artists, and here I showed how to fill in lineart like those found in the lineart thread![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
Written, here's further explanation.
1. Open the png file into Krita.
2. Once opened, make the lineart layer invisable.
3. Add another layer below it and fill it in with a background color that will be easy for you to use. Personally, I use a soft shade of gray, but you might find plain white is better. Your choice!
4. After making the background layer, make the lineart visible again(there is a little eye icon in layers).
(These next steps are a little out of order. I did the eyes, nose, and so on first in the video. You can do any part first, as long as they are on separate layers.)
5. Create a layer between the background and the lineart. This will be your base color.
6. Fill in the lines with your chosen base color(in this case a "red" base was used).
-Don't worry about going outside the lines a bit! I did this video with my mouse, not my tablet, and as you can see, I went outside the lines several times. The next step fixed that!.
7. Erase any stray bits of color and clean it up.
8. Next make another layer on top of it, this one will be the mane (for lionesses, just the tail tip).
9. Repeat 6 and 7 for the mane and tail tip.
10. Now create a layer between the mane and base. This will be your markings!
11. Add whatever markings the character will have(always remember black ear tips!).
12. Now add your final layer, above the mane, which will be the eyes, nose, claws, and so on. Basically the smaller parts.
13. Fill in the smaller parts with your desired colors.
14. Clean up anything and your done! You could always add a background if you want to, too!
