Because positive charges have tendency to loss free electrons and hence the field created outside the positive charge.

Because electric field lines are drawn by taking a positive charge near the charge whose electric field should be determined. So when a positive charge is taken near positive charge then it repel the charge ,therefore it is outward. In case negative charge attract positive charge so it is inward.
