Let’s have some fun celebrating the Lunar New Year by drawing a tiger! Grab your markers and paper, and let’s get started with these easy steps.
Start with the Head: Draw a big “U” shape at the top of your paper. This will be the tiger’s head.
Add the Ears: Draw two upside-down “U” shapes on each side of the head for the ears. Connect them at the top and add little circles inside for detail.
Create the Face: Draw a “Y” shape in the middle of the face for the nose. Add curves on each side to make the mouth and a happy smile.
Draw the Eyes: Make two circles for the eyes. Add smaller circles inside to make them look shiny. Color the big circles, but leave the small ones white.
Add Stripes: Draw sideways “V” shapes on the cheeks and above the eyes for the tiger’s stripes.
Form the Body: Draw another “U” shape under the head for the body.
Add Clothing: Sketch the bottom of a shirt and a curved line for the belly. Add a collar and a line down the middle of the shirt.
Draw the Legs: Make two more “U” shapes for the legs. Add lines for toes and stripes on each leg.
Sketch the Arms: Draw longer sideways “U” shapes for the arms. Add sleeves with stripes.
Draw the Hat: Make an upside-down “U” or rainbow shape for the hat. Add a smaller rainbow line on top.
Add the Tail: Start with an “S” curve for the tail. Make it thicker by drawing another curve next to it. Add stripes for detail.
Lucky Envelopes: Draw rectangles that the tiger holds in its paws. Add details to make them look festive.
Now it’s time to color your tiger! Use markers, colored pencils, crayons, or watercolors. Here are some coloring tips:
Make your tiger drawing special! Add more decorations like lanterns, fireworks, or even more tigers. Don’t forget to add whiskers or eyelashes for extra character.
