How to draw a Tiger

 

Step 1

Draw a circle. It doesn't need to be perfect or drawn with a continuous line, so don't worry if it turns out wobbly. This will be the widest part of the chest.

Step 2

Draw a curve coming from this circle, connected to another, smaller circle. This will be the hips.

Step 3

Connect the big circle with another, smaller circle in the front. This circle should have two "arms". This area will become the arm and shoulder.

Step 4

Draw a line on top of the "shoulder". This will be the shoulder blade.

Step 5

We have all the guide lines we need to build the torso! Add some curves to finish it.

Step 6

It's very important to define the distance to the ground before we start drawing the legs. It should be slightly longer than the height of the torso.

Step 7

Draw one foreleg and one hind leg—both quite symbolic and simple, just to know where they are

Step 8

To make the pose more interesting, let's add another shoulder...

Step 9

Time for the head. Cats don't have very long necks, so place the circular "head" right in front of the shoulders.

Step 10

Finally, sketch the tail.

Step 1

Outline the shoulder blade gently.

Step 2

Connect the shoulder to the arm.

Step 3

Add some muscles to the torso

Step 4

Sketch the elbow

Step 5

Add the wrists and ankles.

Step 6

Sketch the paws in a blocky way. Think of them as hooves for the moment!

Step 7

Connect the wrists with the arms.

Step 8

Connect the ankle with the hip with one big curve

Step 9

Finish the outline of the thigh.
