Draw it step by step

Six steps to a tiger

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with the head

One big round head, a little wider than it is tall.

2

Two round ears

A big round ear on each corner of the head, like two little hills.

3

A striped face

Two dot eyes, a wide muzzle with a triangle nose and a smile, and stripes up the forehead and down each cheek.

4

Draw the body

A round tummy under the head, wider at the bottom.

5

Legs and a tail

Four legs to sit on, and one long tail curling up behind.

6

Finishing touches

Three bold stripes down each side, and long whiskers. Now this tiger is yours.
