How to Draw a Tiger Face
Draw a tiger face in 10 easy steps, about 8 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: big bean head.
Step 1: Big bean head
In the middle of your paper draw a big chubby head like a wide bean. Nearly fill the page.
Tip Wider than tall, with big cheeks and a soft flat top.
Step 2: Round ears
Draw a round bump on each top corner of the head for ears. Add a small rainbow inside each.
Tip Each ear starts and stops on the head line.
Step 3: Two big eyes
Just below the middle of the head draw 2 big egg eyes close together. Put a black dot in each.
Tip Leave a white speck in each dot for the shine.
Step 4: Forehead stripes
Hang 3 curvy stripes from the top of the head between the ears. Colour them black.
Tip The middle stripe is the longest.
Step 5: Cheek stripes
On each side of the head, draw 2 pointed stripes curving in toward the eye. Colour them black.
Tip The top stripe is longer.
Step 6: Cheek tufts
Start on the head line beside the eye. Draw 3 soft fur bumps down, then curve back up inside.
Tip Do both sides. Rub out the head line inside each tuft.
Step 7: Nose
Under the eyes draw a soft peanut shape, half as wide as the head. Add a black triangle nose.
Tip The nose is as wide as an eye, point down.
Step 8: Smile and whiskers
From the nose draw a line down to a little w. Add 3 whiskers on each side, flicking out.
Tip One whisker points up, one straight out, one down.
Step 9: Cream nose and cheeks
Colour the nose patch, the cheek tufts and the inside of the ears cream.
Step 10: Colour the fur orange
Colour the head and ears orange, around the cream patches and the stripes. Leave the eyes white.
