How to Draw A Tiger – Let's get Started!

Step 1

For this first step of our guide on how to draw a tiger, we will start with the first ear and side of the head.

To start with the ear, you can draw it with a curved line that has a sharp point in it to suggest that the ear is quite furry. There will then be another sharply curved line inside of the ear for more detail.

Finally, you will be using a combination of more sharp and curved lines to build the top of the head along with some of the stripes.

It may seem complicated, but if you follow the guide and take it slowly then you should have no problems!

Step 2 – Create a mirror image for the other side of the head

This second part of your tiger drawing should be a simple one for you to do, as you will simply be mirroring everything that you did in the previous step.

Using the reference image and your own drawing, you can try your best to make this right-hand side of the head look exactly how the other side did.

Step 3 – Now, continue the rest of the face

With the top of the tiger's head drawn, you can now start to draw the lower portion of the face.

There are a lot of intricate details to this portion of the face, so for this part of our guide on how to draw a tiger you could take a similar approach to the previous step.

You could start with one side and then mirror it to create that symmetry. Don't forget to add the tiger's fearsome eyes in this step as well!

Step 4 – Next, draw the sides of the tiger's head

The previous few steps of this tiger drawing have been quite tricky, so let's dial it back just a bit for this part!

For this step, you will be using some jagged lines on the sides of the face to create the furry sides of the head. That's all there is to it for this step, and you're ready to move on!

Step 5 – Now, you can draw the nose and muzzle

This step of our guide on how to draw a tiger is also a bit simpler than the first few were.

You can use some curved lines for the thin nose of the tiger, and then use some small, jagged ones for the detailing on the muzzle.

Step 6 – Draw the whiskers for the tiger

We have another simpler step for your tiger drawing in this next part. This step will be all about adding some whiskers to the muzzle of the tiger.

You can do this by extending several simple, curved lines from the lines in the muzzle. Once you have these done, we have just a few more details to add before you color in your picture.

Step 7 – Draw the last details

It's almost time to start adding some amazing colors in this guide on how to draw a tiger, but first we have some final details and elements to add.

First, you can draw the bottom of the face using some more jagged lines to form the furry base of the tiger's face. Then, you can finish off by adding some small details inside of the tiger's ears.

That will do it for the details in this guide, but this is your drawing and you can take it further with your own details if you wish!

You could draw a background, draw more of the tiger's body or add any other style elements that you may want for it.

What can you think of to finish this incredible drawing of yours?

Step 8 – Finish off your tiger drawing with some color

Tigers are well known for their stunning color scheme, and you can replicate this color scheme in this part of your tiger drawing!

As you know, tigers have a coloring of bright orange, black and white primarily, and this is the color scheme that we went with in the reference image. Even if you stick to these more realistic colors, there are plenty of ways that you can add some variety.

You can use different tones and shades of these colors to build up some color texture, and you can also experiment with different art mediums depending on the style that you want.

We can't wait to see how you use your colors and art tools to bring this image to life!
