How To Draw a Tiger step by step in this drawing tutorial, we’ll demonstrate you how to draw a Tiger in some easy steps. This step by step free lesson helps you draw a Tiger In 4 different options! Here are some facts about Tigers that you might find fascinating. The tiger is the enormous wild cat in the earth. Tigers stretch over 6 feet long and can weigh up to 750 pounds (340 kg). Tigers hunt when it’s dark and can more easily sneak up on their prey.
A tiger’s roar is so loud it can be heard 5 miles (8 km) away. Unlike most cats, tigers enjoy being in the water and are quite agile swimmers. When exceptionally hungry, tigers have been known to devour up to 65 pounds (30 kg) of meat in one feeding.Start drawing the tiger by following each of the six steps in sequence.
Big cats are my desired topic to draw. They’re stylish, and power and their body have a simple, yet gorgeous rhythm. nowadays, I’d like to demonstrate you how to draw a tiger—details, and stripes

How to draw a tiger in stages
Getting started, remember the proportions, keep in mind the figure of the feline.
Stage 1
Circles denote the shoulders and rump of a big cat. Remember that the tiger’s shoulders are higher and more developed than the posterior, the body is elongated. The third circle is the head, the skull of this animal is round and short. Lines denote the paws and tail. The length of the latter is less than the length of the body.
Stage 2
We work on the head in detail. It is essential to show the strength and strength of the bones intended for the deadly bite. To maintain symmetry and proportions, we divide the circle vertically in half, and horizontally – into three parts. The tiger’s nose is tight and short; it is located on the border of the first and second third, small eyes – on the perimeter of the second and third horizontals. Ears are located in the center of the top of the vertical parts of the head.
We make the contour of the head with strokes, showing short and thick hair on the head, select the strip.
Stage 3
The hind limbs are longer than the front, so the tiger jumps so well, powerfully spring. Performing the contour of the paws, tail, we remember the powerful muscles and grace.
We draw around the circumference of the sacrum and chest with soft lines, uniting them in a muscular torso.
Stage 4
We work out the details, and we put stripes, we denote the volume with the help of light and shade.
How to draw a tiger with a pencil
Let’s draw a tiger with a pencil in motion. We draw familiar circles, but arrange them differently: in the foreground, there is a small head, then a powerful withers, the last one is the sacrum. When drawing the head in a three-quarter turn, we remember its rounded shape, the volume, but not the longbow.
We depict the front paws. One of them is gently on the ground, the second – with a brush picked up in motion.
From the withers we draw a slightly rounded back, smoothly transferring the line to the tail. From the front paws, we carry the edge of the abdomen, draw the hind legs gently standing next to each other.
We remove unnecessary lines of outline, leave a clean shape of the animal, proceed to the elaboration of small details: whiskers, contours of wool, stripes. With a soft pencil, we denote all the contours of the body, features, and lines.
How to draw a tiger child
For a child, a tiger is a big cat. Therefore, in children’s art and drawings for children, he appears as a big, playful kitten with characteristic color and stripes.
The central place in the picture is taken by a snout radiating joy, curiosity, and kindness. The head with small triangles of ears is larger than the body; the legs are soft, the strips are indicated schematically. The colors are chosen bright, nice looking.
Drawing tiger beginner example
Novice artists can draw a tiger, respecting the basic proportions, but not achieve photographic similarities.
We draw a saber-toothed tiger.
The primitive relative of the modern predator is more muscular, short-knit and incredibly aggressive. Characteristic details of his appearance are enlarged, curved upper canines, fur that does not have a tigropodable color. To use the possibilities of the canines, the animal could open the mouth at 95 degrees (the maximum in modern cats is 65 degrees). Their tail is relatively short.
We begin to draw a saber-toothed tiger with the usual circles, denoting the shoulders and the sacrum of mylodon. We mean the head by a square, which we immediately divide into four equal parts.
We connect circles with smooth arcs, denoting the contour of the body, on each side, in the upper part of the square-head we draw arcs, we also draw an arc diagonally to the lower left quarter. Outline legs and not long tail.
Work in detail the head. From the upper arches, we form ears, grinning upper jaw. We show wide open mouth, fangs, the contour of the lower jaw, small eyes.
We combine parts with a natural contour, draw a stiff neck, torso, legs, tail. Apply stain stains, add volume using shaded and light areas.
We draw the Amur tiger
The Amur tiger lives in cold terrain. Therefore its wool is unusually thick, and its ears are short. Its appearance almost does not differ from the relatives living in a warm area.
Consider on his example the beautiful coloring of a tiger and practice in drawing a predator’s grinning face.
We draw a white (Bengal), tiger
The white Bengal tiger is bred artificially to decorate zoos. It does not make him less predatory.
We draw a white tiger as well as usual. But in drawing in color, we remember that the stripes on a white background are red-brown, and the eyes of a predator are blue.
Tiger face
Drawing the face of a tiger, we’ll dwell on its predatory grin.
We draw the central circle, then a small circle, half going into it. In the center of the central circle, there is an oval, along with its edges, there are symmetrically small circles (future eyes). From the sides of the ring, at the level of the eyes, we denote the ears pressed to the head.
Draw the details: pupils, folds on the forehead, nose, jaws, lips, and teeth.
We remove unnecessary details of the outline; we mark the clean contour with a soft pencil, add stripes.
We make a drawing in color, using orange, black, white, yellow undertones.
How to Draw a Tiger Step by Step Guides
In this drawing lesson, you will learn how to draw a tiger. Many big illustrations guide you along the way and give you a look into the details of how tiger drawings are created with graphite pencils.
Of course, such a detailed picture isn’t created in five minutes. However, we are going to divide the drawing process into very few steps. You can take breaks between them if you draw along.

What you need:
How To Draw a Tiger Step by Step
In the beginning, we map the tiger ratio. We are not concerned about the details here. An easy start is always best. Draw the outline very lightly with an HB pencil.
For better visibility I darkened the lines in the pictures below. They were actually much lighter.
Step 1: Draw a Tiger Outline the Face
Sketch a large circle with its middle axes on your paper. My circle was about 4.5 inches (11.5 centimeters) in diameter, larger than the one shown here. If you make it that large it will be much easier for you to draw in the details. This circle is not the head itself, but will help us to construct the head.
Take care to leave enough space around it. As you can see in this picture, you will need a bit of space above and beside it and much more space below. The drawing of the whole tiger is about as high as two circles.
Step 2: Draw a Tiger Ears
Divide the top half of the circle into two again. The ears sit just on the division-line. Their diagonal height is roughly the same as a fourth of the diameter, as shown
with the blue arrows. Note that there is a slight bulge at the bottom of the ear.
Their upper end sits halfway from the dotted line to the circle’s top.
Step 3: Draw a Tiger Snout
Draw in the snout into the lower quarter of the circle. Its width (blue arrow) is equal to the radius of the circle (red arrow). The shape is like around “W”. In the middle of it sits a little to the left of the red arrow as the tiger tilts its head slightly.
For the same reason the left end of the “W” sits higher than the right end.
Step 4: Draw Nose & Chin
Add a triangle for the nose above the middle part of the snout. Connect it with the horizontal middle line through a couple of curves for the bridge of the nose. Then draw in two narrow lines for the lower lip and one big oval shape for the chin.
Step 5: Draw a Tiger Eyes
Draw the eyes just on top of the vertical middle line. The length from the ear top to the circle is exactly the same as from the lower end of the ear to the outer corner of the eye (blue arrows).
Leave so much space between the eyes that two more eyes will fit there. For the eyes, for now, give it a simple nut shape
Step 6: Draw Tiger Sideburns & Body
Draw sideburns that extend the circle on both sides. They are a bit too long here and I cut them back later. You can make them shorter than shown above. Draw in a line for the top of the head. It has moved from the left ear to the right ear. On the right side, it is a bit higher.
Then add two lines for the lower body. They arc down from the sideburns on both sides.
The left one is much closer to the face than the right one.
I also sketched in two lines that bend upwards from the snout and frame the face, but they are not important for the next steps. I just added them to make the face look more complete. Erase the circle and the two axes, because we don’t need them anymore.
Step 7: Tiger Detailed Eyes Drawing
Beyond the proportional outline, we will now draw a more detailed final outline. I recommend that you make your drawn lines a bit paler with a kneaded eraser. Just roll it across the paper, so that all lines get brighter.Then the new line will stand out better. Keep drawing lightly with an HB pencil.
Step 7: Tiger Detailed Eyes Drawing
Start with eyes. You know where they should sit and so you can give them the final shape. The upper eyelid (blue) is a single line that bends down from the outer corner of the eye to the inner corner of the eye, which lies much lower.
The other lines are all like circles that were cut in half by the upper eyelid.
Draw two lines close together, for the lower eyelid (green), and another line deeper inside for the iris (red). Then draw the puppet centering on the Irish.
Step 8: Tiger Detailed Nose drawing
The nose is shown in color on the right, to make the shape clearer. The whole nose should be as wide as the distance from the eyes.
It has two wings at each side (red) and a shape like a rounded “W” in the middle below (blue). From the tip of each wing, a line is arcing upwards (green).
Step 9: Tiger Detailed Ears drawing
I jumped a little bit ahead of myself and textured the ears right away, before the outline for the rest of the face was finished. Here I just show the steps for the right ear.
Draw the left one in the same way.
The top row shows how bright the ears actually are. The lower row was darkened so that you can see the lines better. Take an HB pencil and draw many tiny strokes around the outline of the ear, so that its borders look furry. Make these hairs a bit darker on the left side, and the area they cover a bit broader.
Then add a bunch of long bending hairs into the left corner of the ear. Here the hairs are not the lines themselves, but the white space between the lines.
Take a softer pencil (B) and add a shadow around the hairs.
At the upper left and between the hairs the shadow should be darkest.
Let it blend into brighter values the more you go to the lower right.
Step 10: Tiger Detailed Snout Drawing
Draw many fine hairs around the snout and chin. At the chin the hairs are longer and straight. At the snout they are rather short and slightly curved sideward.
Add quite a few whiskers afterward. Let some start from the very edge of the snout and some more from inside. The whiskers at the top or closest to the chin are rather short.
The whiskers in the middle are longer.
Step 11: Draw White Fur Pattern
The following shapes will be the white specks in the tiger’s face. I outlined them with zigzag lines to distinguish them from the black stripes, which are drawn with straight lines later. Draw two large specks above the eyes. The bulges that are marked with arrows are important for the fierce expression of the face.
Below each eye, there is a thin row of white fur, which arcs down a bit at the inner corner of the eye.
Draw two more white spots close to the ears and a rim around the snout. The rim starts at the outer edge of the lines beside the nose. It arcs inwards a little, then changes its direction and goes up to the side of the snout in a long curve.
Step 12: Draw Black Fur Pattern
Here I stopped using zigzag lines so that you can still tell the difference between black and white fur-pattern. The newly added patterns in each step are shown in red, for better visibility.
Draw in the following for each eye. two little shapes into the white area above the eye. A big shape that starts at the outer corner of the eye. A thin stripe below the white fur under the eye. On the left side, the last two are connected.
Fill in the forehead with several thin and uneven stripes. They start close to the white fur above the eyes and point diagonally upwards to the middle of the skull. Sprinkle a few dots below them.
Draw Black Fur Pattern
The green line that runs up the skull in this picture is there to show the middle of the fur pattern. Note how it bends slightly to the right at the top. All stripes that run towards it end before they touch this middle line.
There are only two little stripes that lie on it. Draw in five rows of stripes in total.
The upper three, between the ears, are close together, while the lower two have a bit more space between them.
Draw in two stripes that start thin under the ears and go outwards to the sideburns.
There they get broad and arc down in a big curve.
Add two more stripes, which start close to the pattern at the outer corner of the eye. On the left side, it is actually extending that pattern. They curve down to the beginning of the snout and send out a couple of spikes that point towards the eyes.
Fill in the area below the eyes with some additional spikes that aren’t connected to any bigger pattern. But the snout should largely stay free of them. They are only at the very margin. That’s all for the face. Just throw in a couple of stripes into the body and the whole fur-pattern is finished.
On the left side, I added an additional line at the side of the body (shown in purple). This is for the hind part of the tiger’s body, which is slightly visible. And with that your whole outline of the tiger is complete.
Step 13: Shading the Eyes
Now comes the part that’s most fun in my opinion. We are going to bring the tiger alive through adding shading and fur texture to his body. For this you’ll need pencils of different grades now. I always mention which pencils I used for the different parts.
For this, you’ll need pencils of different grades now. I always mention which pencils I used for the different parts.
Before you start filling in the tiger, you may consider rolling your knead-eraser over the whole outline once more(except ears, since they are finished already).
The lines should be so pale that you won’t see them in the finished picture.
Step 13: Shading the Eyes
Fill in the pupil with a 6B pencil, but leave a white highlight inside. Then take a 4B pencil to shade the eyelids:
Draw the borders of the lower eyelid with a sharp pencil and with a lot of pressure, so that they become very dark (blue arrows). Then fill in the space between the black borders with a lighter grey value. This will give a neat 3D effect to the eyelid.
You can see that it is bulging out.
Draw one thick black line along the upper eyelid. Then add many little curved lines on top of it. These are no eyelashes. Instead, these black lines are parts of the eyelid, which are visible between white strands of fur.The later are the white spaces between the black lines.
Finally draw in two thin shapes, which bend gently downwards, at the inner corner of the eyes. Use an HB pencil to fill in the iris with a light grey value. Then take a pointy B pencil to draw thin lines all around the pupil. Let them point towards the eye center (blue arrows).
Step 14: Shading of the Nose
Draw a black line under the nose with a 4B pencil. It goes all the way up to the two little arcs at the side of the nose. Add a couple of black hairs below the nose, and shade the edges of the lip. Then take an HB pencil and draw many little hairs along the upper rim of the nose.
Shade the nose with a B pencil. First, fill it in completely with a very light grey.
Then darken it at the edges and let the dark values blend smoothly into the brighter ones in the middle. The blue arrows point out the darkest areas.
In the middle, the nose is the brightest.
Step 15: Draw a Tiger Head Fur Texture
Now we start drawing the fur. It is important that you keep your pencils very sharp here.
The lines you draw should be very thin and look like hairs.
Fill in all the stripes with black lines, using a 4B pencil. Don’t draw them in a zigzag fashion, but set many single lines next to each other. Vary length and thickness of the lines slightly, so that they don’t look too ordered. The direction is important. On the forehead, the hairs are pointing upwards. Around the eyes, they are always bending away from the eye.
At the sideburns, they point slightly downwards. Now take an HB pencil and fill in the upper part of the face. Let the lines point in the same direction as the black ones around them.
Overall they should be very short and dense. Yet as you see there is a bit of white still visible between them and that’s okay. Take care to leave the areas for white fur empty (around the eyes and at the ears), as well as the lower part of the sideburns (as indicated by the red lines). At the upper parts of the sideburns, the lines should be much longer than on the forehead.
Step 16: Shading & Shadows
The fur on a tiger’s nose is so short and dense that you usually can’t distinguish any single hair. So we take a different approach here.
Take your HB pencil and shade the whole area above the snout and only leave the white outline at the lower rim empty. Make the edges of the bridge of the nose darker.
Then sprinkle in thousand little dots all over the shaded surface with a B pencil.
Add a shadow under the thick black line below the nose with an HB pencil. Also, draw a shadow below the chin and around the snout. Use a 2B pencil for this one. Be careful to not overdraw the hairs at the chin or the whiskers. The shadow should be visible between them.
Under the chin and on the left side of the snout the shadow can be as dark as on the right side. Here it looks brighter, but I darkened it later.
Step 17: Draw Tiger Shadows & Black Specks
Keep your 2B pencil and add several curved rows of dots on each side of the snout.
Scatter them above and between the whiskers. Also, draw in a couple of dark lines on the chin and make a few tiny dots at the sides of the bridge of the nose.
Now the tiger’s face is complete and in a few steps we’ll finish his body.
Step 18: Draw Tiger Body Texture
First fill in the stripes on the body with many little black strokes again, using a 4B pencil. Take a B pencil and shade the sides of the front body. Then fill in the hind body in a darker tone.
Step 19: Tiger drawing Final Touch
In this picture there actually changed a lot from the last, though it may not be obvious immediately.
Darken the sides of the front body a bit more with a B pencil, so that they stand out stronger (if this is necessary in your picture). Then take an HB pencil to draw in many long lines into the white for of the front body. Also add a couple of thin black stripes to the hind body with a 4B pencil.
Switch to your HB again, and now turn to the face once more. Quickly work over all the areas in the upper face. Just throw in many darker lines among the brighter ones, by pressing the pencil down stronger than before. This gives much more depth to the texture.
Also draw several lines into the lower white part of the sideburns, so that they are clearly outlined and filled, but still, look white. These lines should be rather long.

At the bottom you can read some interesting facts about the Tiger.
Make sure you also check out any of the hundreds of drawing tutorials grouped by category.
Step 1: First draw a short crooked «U» shaped snout and nose. There is a small curved line toward the top. This is the nose. The snout is twice the width of the nose.
Step 2: Now draw a curved line under the snout to make the lower jaw. Continue the top nose line up to make the head. Add two pointy ears at the top of the head.
Step 3: Just below the top ear add the small eye. Below the front ear add the squiggly lines to make the fur markings.
Step 4: Draw lines from the top of the head and the bottom to make the thick neck.
Step 5: Continue the back line across and curve it down around the rump. At the end of the front neck line start drawing the thick front leg down. The bottom part of the leg bends slightly down to the front paw. Angle the line back up. Make the top part of the front leg sider than the bottom.
Step 6: Start the belly line right behind the front leg. Continue drawing the line straight back. Draw the hind leg down into the back paw. The bottom of the leg is the same width as the front leg but the top is a bit wider. Draw the back of the hind leg up almost to the back of the rump line.
Step 7: Just behind the front leg add another front leg. The other hind leg starts just behind the first hind leg. Finally, add the long thin tail. Curve it down and back up just at the tip.
Interesting Facts about Tigers
Tigers are a very popular big cat. They are usually orange with black stripes, but they can also be white with black stripes. You may think that your pet cat acts a lot like a tiger sometimes, and that’s because they are related to each other! Tigers are like a big cousin of the house cat. Tigers also live in the forests, swamps, and rain forests of Asia.
Over 100,000 tigers roamed widely across Asia at the turn of the 20th century. Today, there are only about 3,000 – 4,000 wild tigers living in small, remote regions of Asia.
Did you know?
Tigers are among the most popular of large, wild animals worldwide and have been featured in ancient mythology, folklore, books and films.
Sadly, out of the 10 subspecies of tiger, only six still exist today; the Bengal tiger, the Siberian tiger, the South China tiger, the Indochinese tiger, the Malayan tiger and the Sumatran tiger.
Fortunately, many people and organizations are working hard to help keep the magnificent tiger from becoming extinct.
Lesson Note: Draw a picture of a tiger and make enough copies so that every child can have one. Place a different number of stripes in a different pattern on each tiger, using a black marker. Ask the students to color their tigers and draw them in their natural surroundings (forest, grass, etc). Then, call on students to count the number of stripes on their tigers and tell the class.

Learn How to Draw a Tiger in This Step-by-Step Tutorial
Photo: Stock Photos from Ondrej Prosicky/Shutterstock
No animal can quite compare to the majesty of a tiger. With its striking orange and black coloring and enigmatic presence, this big cat is one of the most beautiful creatures in the world. Although it may seem daunting to try and render this striped feline on your own, you’ll see that with a little bit of patience and some illustrated guidance, you too can draw the tiger of your dreams.
In this tutorial, we will go through the steps of sketching a tiger walking through a forest. Ready to give it a go? Then grab your drawing supplies and some paper—it’s time to draw a tiger!
Learn How to Draw a Tiger in 10 Steps
Photo: Stock Photos from dangdumrong/Shutterstock
Step 1: Do your research
Before we begin drawing, it’s important to set aside some time to familiarize yourself with tiger anatomy. Even if you’ve drawn other big cats, like lions and leopards, there are a few differences to take note of when drawing the striped feline. In particular, remember that tigers have long, muscular bodies with powerful legs. Additionally, it’s helpful to look at the different subspecies of tigers and choose one as your model.
This tutorial will be focusing on how to draw a Siberian tiger.
Step 2: Draw the basic shapes
Art: Margherita Cole | My Modern Met
To begin, we’re going to draw the basic shapes for the tiger. You’ll want to make one small circle for the head, a larger circle for the chest, and a little further down, another mid-size circle for the hindquarters.
Step 3: Connect the shapes
Art: Margherita Cole | My Modern Met
Next, connect the shapes you’ve just drawn until you have a long body.
Step 4: Add the ears and muzzle
Art: Margherita Cole | My Modern Met
Now, we’ll turn our attention to the head, and add a pair of triangle-shaped ears to the top of the circle and a smaller circle to the bottom. If you want, you can also lightly sketch some guidelines at this point to indicate where the facial features will go, but it’s not necessary yet.
Step 5: Sketch the legs
Art: Margherita Cole | My Modern Met
Turning our attention to the tiger’s body again, it’s time to draw the legs. Begin by sketching the upper part of the forelimbs and hind legs as thick rectangular shapes. Then, connect the lower legs at the joints, ending at large rectangular paws. Keep the legs fairly thick, as tigers are muscular animals with heavy coats of fur.
Art: Margherita Cole | My Modern Met
Step 6: Add detail to the face
Art: Margherita Cole | My Modern Met
With the legs in place, it’s time to go back to the head and fill it in with more detail. First, lightly sketch a pair of small circular eyes. Then, using the eye that is further away, draw the bridge of the nose, ending at the muzzle. There, add a triangle-shaped nose and two whisker pads. In this drawing, the tiger has its mouth open, so below the nose, sketch a rectangular-shaped jaw. Remember to add a bit of fluff to the sides of the head as well.
Art: Margherita Cole | My Modern Met
Step 7: Give the tiger more definition
Art: Margherita Cole | My Modern Met
At this point, we’ve drawn all of the elements, so it’s time to give our tiger more definition. Starting from the top, find the shoulder blade of the tiger, and raise it up a bit to show that it is in movement. Add a long curling tail behind the rear legs and sketch the individual toes in the tiger’s paws.
Step 8: Erase the guidelines
Art: Margherita Cole | My Modern Met
Once you’re satisfied with your basic sketch, go ahead and erase any unnecessary marks until you have a clean outline of your tiger.
Step 9: Add the stripes
Art: Margherita Cole | My Modern Met
Finally, it’s time to jazz up your tiger drawing with what makes these animals so special—stripes! Although it may be tempting to try this freehand, there are actually some basic patterns to follow, so be sure you have a few reference photos of tigers handy. Remember to keep the stripes around the head shorter, and the ones on the body fairly long. You’ll notice that in most tigers, the stripes also become thicker as they get closer to the hindquarters.
Optional: Draw a background
Art: Margherita Cole | My Modern Met
If you’re putting in the effort of drawing a noble tiger, why not make it a complete illustration by giving it a background? It’s a great way to give your animal a story. In this example, the tiger is walking through a snowy forest, so I’ve added a sloping horizontal line and a variety of trees in the back. Depending on what species of tiger you’ve decided to draw, you might want to change the vegetation accordingly.
Step 10: Go over the drawing in ink
Art: Margherita Cole | My Modern Met
Finally, it’s time to go over our drawing in ink. Place a scrap of paper under your drawing hand and slowly go over the sketch with a pen. Once you’ve gone over all of the marks, you can begin filling in the stripes and other select areas with black. It’s important to leave this step until last, otherwise, you risk smearing the ink. Afterward, if you feel as though your drawing is still in need of more texture, add some stippling or hatching to certain areas—like beneath the tiger’s paws, around the nose, near the trees, etc.
After you’ve finished, you can either add color to the composition or leave it as is for a striking black and white illustration of a tiger!
