Let’s learn how to draw a tiger’s head! This is going to be fun and exciting. Grab your paper and colored pencils, and let’s get started!
First, turn your paper sideways. Draw two slanted lines that meet in the middle. These will be the tiger’s eyes. Then, draw U-shaped curves under each line to make the bottom of the eyes. Inside each eye, draw an oval for the pupil and color it in, but leave a tiny white spot to make it look shiny.
Now, let’s draw the tiger’s nose. Make a V shape that looks like a heart. On each side of the nose, draw two upside-down U shapes for the nostrils and color them in. It’s okay if your lines aren’t perfect!
Next, draw a line down from the nose for the mouth and add lines going out for the cheeks. Draw some wrinkles to make the tiger look like it’s growling.
Draw two big, curvy fangs on each side of the mouth. Connect them with a line for the gums and add zigzag lines for smaller teeth. For the bottom teeth, draw upside-down V shapes next to the fangs and connect them with curves.
To add the tongue, draw a big U shape touching the bottom teeth, then draw a curved line on top to connect it back to the mouth.
Now, let’s draw the tiger’s head. Make a big rainbow line over the top of the head. On each side, draw zigzag lines going down to look like fur.
For the ears, draw curved lines that go out and back down into the head. Inside the ears, add zigzag lines to make them look furry.
To make the tiger look real, add stripes! Draw zigzag lines that curve down to the mouth. Then, add more zigzag lines like lightning bolts, connecting them to the mouth. Do the same on the other side of the face.
Add stripes above the eyes and on the forehead to look like spikes. You can add more stripes to make the tiger look even cooler!
Draw a zigzag line from the chin to make it look like the tiger has a beard. Add more zigzag lines around the face to make the fur look thick.
Now it’s time to color! Use black for the stripes and around the eyes and ears. Add some dark orange and gray to make your tiger look amazing.
Great job! You’ve drawn a tiger’s head. Remember, practice makes perfect, so keep trying if it’s not perfect the first time. The most important thing is to have fun and enjoy drawing. Happy drawing!
