How to Draw a Chibi Tiger
Draw a chibi tiger in 13 easy steps, about 10 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: huge fluffy head.
Step 1: Huge fluffy head
Near the top draw a huge round head. Puff out each cheek with 2 soft fur bumps.
Tip A chibi head is bigger than the whole body.
Step 2: Round ears
On each top corner of the head draw a round ear. Draw a smaller round shape inside.
Step 3: Huge tiger eyes
Halfway down the head draw 2 huge eyes, tilted a little. Add a ring, a tall pupil and a shine.
Step 4: Muzzle and smile
Between the eyes, lower down, draw a cloud muzzle. Add a heart nose with a w smile under it.
Step 5: Tiny body
From under each cheek draw a round side down and in, to meet under the middle.
Tip The body is much smaller than the head.
Step 6: Chunky front legs
From under the chin draw 2 chunky legs bowing out, down to big mitten paws. Add 2 toes each.
Step 7: Back paws
Beside each front paw draw a bun paw peeking out. Add 1 toe line on each.
Step 8: Curvy tail
Start on the right side. Draw a thick tail out and up to a round tip.
Tip Thick at the body, thinner at the tip.
Step 9: Head stripes
Hang 3 black stripes from the top of the head. Draw 2 pointing in from each cheek.
Tip Each stripe starts on the outline and narrows to a point.
Step 10: Body and tail stripes
Draw 2 black stripes on each side of the body, 2 rings across the tail and a black tip.
Step 11: Ground line
Draw a flat ground line under the paws, from left to right.
Step 12: Pink and yellow
Colour the nose and the inside of each ear pink. Colour the rings in the eyes yellow.
Step 13: Orange fur
Colour the tiger orange, around the stripes. Leave the muzzle, tummy and eyes white. Your chibi tiger is done!
