Questions and answers

How do you draw a tiger in pencil step by step?

Sketch a circle for the head, an oval for the body, the legs and the tail with light lines. Refine the outline, add the eyes, nose and whiskers, erase the extra lines and only then draw the stripes: longer on the back, shorter on the legs and tail.

How do you draw tiger stripes in pencil?

Tiger stripes look like narrow wedges with pointed ends that run across the body, and no two are the same. Outline them first, then fill them in with a soft 2B pencil, leaving white spots around the eyes and on the cheeks.

Which tiger pencil drawing is best for beginners?

The cub with a ball, the mother tiger with her cub or the waving cartoon tiger: they have thick outlines and few details. Save the realistic face and the profile for later, since they need shading.
