How to Draw a Tiger

Hi there, little artist! Today, we’re going to learn how to draw a tiger. Tigers are big, stripy cats that live in the jungle. Are you ready to have some fun? Let’s get started!

Step 1: Draw the Tiger’s Head

First, let’s draw a big circle for the tiger’s head. This will be the face of our tiger. Can you make a big round shape? Great job!

Step 2: Add the Ears

Now, let’s give our tiger some ears. Draw two small half-circles on top of the big circle. These will be the tiger’s ears. They help the tiger hear all the sounds in the jungle!

Step 3: Draw the Eyes

Next, let’s draw two little circles inside the big circle for the tiger’s eyes. Tigers have sharp eyes to see in the dark. Can you draw two eyes? Awesome!

Step 4: Make the Nose and Mouth

Now, let’s draw a small triangle in the middle of the face for the nose. Below the nose, draw a curved line for the mouth. Tigers have big smiles!

Step 5: Add the Stripes

It’s time to add stripes! Draw some zig-zag lines on the tiger’s face and ears. Tigers have lots of stripes, and each tiger’s stripes are different!

Step 6: Draw the Body

Let’s draw the tiger’s body. Make a big oval shape under the head. This will be the tiger’s tummy. Tigers are strong and fast!

Step 7: Add the Legs and Tail

Now, draw four long rectangles for the legs. Tigers use their legs to run and jump. Don’t forget to add a long, wiggly line for the tail. Tigers use their tails to balance when they run.

Step 8: Color Your Tiger

Finally, let’s color our tiger. Use orange for the body and black for the stripes. You can use pink for the nose and white for the tummy. Tigers are colorful and beautiful!

Great Job!

Wow, you did an amazing job drawing your tiger! Remember, practice makes perfect. Keep drawing and have fun creating more animals. You’re a fantastic artist!

  • What do you think makes tigers special and different from other animals? Can you think of any other animals that have stripes?
  • Have you ever seen a tiger in real life, maybe at a zoo or in a book? What did you notice about how they look or move?
  • When you draw or color, what is your favorite part of the process? Do you like drawing the shapes, adding details, or coloring the most? Why?
  1. Stripe Hunt: Go on a stripe hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that have stripes, like clothes, furniture, or toys. Count how many striped items you can find. Discuss with your friends or family why stripes might be important for animals like tigers. Do you think stripes help them hide in the jungle?

  2. Tiger Movements: Pretend to be a tiger! Practice moving like a tiger by crawling on all fours. Try to be as quiet as possible, just like a tiger sneaking through the jungle. Can you jump like a tiger? How about balancing on one leg like a tiger using its tail? Talk about how these movements help tigers in the wild.

  3. Color Mix-Up: Experiment with mixing colors to create the perfect tiger orange. Use paints or colored pencils to mix red and yellow. See what happens when you add more red or more yellow. Once you find the right shade, use it to color another drawing of a tiger. Discuss how colors can change and why tigers might be orange in the jungle.
