Sometimes you want to draw something, new and unexpected, or old and familiar. And sometimes a child asks for this when he sees a cute character in the cartoon. For example, a tiger. But how to draw a tiger? This is a beautiful, powerful, very colorful and colorful animal, it is not easy to transfer it to paper.
First of all, it is worth deciding which animal, in what pose and surroundings you want to depict, because the composition of the drawing and the execution of its individual parts depend on this. It is also important to choose how to draw a tiger - with a pencil, paints or, possibly, ink. When all issues are resolved, you can begin to implement the plan.
Perhaps the fastest way is to learn how to draw a tiger in stages. It’s easier and more affordable. First of all, the outline of the tiger’s head and body is drawn with thin, light strokes. To do this, two even circles are made on the sheet (preferably in its very center) (these will be the head and neck), and an oval for the body is added to them. On a circle for the head, markings are drawn for future eyes, nose and mouth. These marking axes will help to place all parts of the tiger face, stripes.
Following on the head are drawn two triangles, which will subsequently become ears. We hatch the triangles inside so that we get the effect of wool in the ears. Now we need to go down and shade the tiger's cheeks, hair on the chin in the same way, outline the open mouth and nose, shade the hair all over the animal’s body and outline future forepaws.
Now that it’s already clear how to draw a tiger from scratch, and when all the main details are outlined, you can start drawing. First, the focus is on the head, because this is the main and central place in the picture. In the middle of the head, slightly curved lines are drawn, forming eyes when closed. Then, the outline of the nose is more clearly drawn and attention is paid to the ears. To draw them correctly, you need to mentally or with a dashed line divide half of the circle of the head into two identical halves. Only after that draw the ears - so that their lower edge is adjacent to this dashed line. They are located diagonally to the main axes of the muzzle and are equal to half of its upper part.
How to draw a tiger further, it’s already clear: move to the bottom of the muzzle. It must be divided into two halves, add in the middle of the nose triangles, shading to the lines of the lower lip and chin, draw almond-shaped eyes. A little secret: the distance from the eye to the top of the head of a tiger is equal to the size of its ears. If done correctly, there is enough space between the eye and the center line for another eye. After that, the circular and axial lines that helped draw can be safely removed. Now, around the ears and muzzle, you need to draw a lot of tiny dots to add fluffiness to the tiger. We draw hairs all over the body and face, as well as long mustaches, which are getting shorter and shorter closer to the chin. To do this, take a soft pencil.
How to draw a tiger next? Draw fur, that is, depict black and white zigzag stripes. Then we move on to the paws, also make them fluffy, supply with claws, draw fingers and ankles. Draw the tail.
The last stage is the removal of all unnecessary lines, the drawing of the surroundings: greenery, stones, or all that I would like to see in the picture around the tiger.
