The first steps: Sketching the basic shapes
Start by drawing a large circle for the head of the tiger. Then, add two smaller circles on each side for the ears. Next, draw a smaller circle below the head for the body and a long oval shape for the tail.
Adding details to the face
Next, draw two smaller circles inside the head circle for the eyes. Add a triangle shape for the nose and draw a curved line for the mouth. Make sure to add whiskers on each side of the mouth.
Creating the body and legs
Connect the body circle with the head using curved lines to create the neck. Add two curved lines below the body for the front legs and two more curved lines for the hind legs. Don't forget to draw the paws at the end of each leg.
Final touches and details
Now, it's time to add stripes to the tiger's body. Draw long curved lines across the body and add smaller curved lines inside each ear. You can also add a few more details to the face, like eyebrows or extra lines around the eyes.
Coloring your cartoon tiger
Once you're happy with the outline of your cartoon tiger, it's time to add some color. Tigers are typically orange with black stripes, so grab some colored pencils or markers and fill in the body with orange. Add black stripes all over the body and tail.
Finishing touches
Finally, go over your drawing and make any necessary adjustments. Add shading to give your tiger more dimension and depth. You can also add a background to your drawing to make it more visually appealing.
Practice makes perfect
Remember, drawing takes practice, so don't get discouraged if your first attempt doesn't turn out perfect. Keep practicing and soon enough, you'll be able to draw a cartoon tiger with ease!
