Learn to draw a tiger cub
An adult tiger is, of course, great, but many kids prefer tiger cubs. So let's draw them this cute baby wild tabby cat. There is nothing complicated here if you draw a baby step by step. The set of necessary materials is also simple - a landscape sheet, a simple pencil, an eraser and colored pencils.
Let's start with the head. As you can see, everything is simple. Next, draw the tiger cub as shown in the photo master class below.
The result was a wonderful tiger cub. By the way, the tiger cub does not have to stand. They look very cute in a sitting position. Watch the video for a very simple master class on drawing a sitting tiger cub.

You don't need to be a super artist to make such a funny tiger baby. The main thing is to firmly hold in your hands the felt-tip pen with which this tiger is drawn. Well, or a simple pencil, if you are not too confident in your abilities. In addition to paper and a black felt-tip pen (or a simple pencil), also prepare colored pencils or felt-tip pens for coloring the cute talisman of the coming year.
- Start at the top of the head and ears. Draw a slightly curved arc with a downward slope and from it - on both sides - along a right triangle. These are ears.
- Inside the ears you draw corners, thus indicating their volume, and on the forehead you draw stripes-folds. Extend the contour of the head a little - more strongly from above, and from below only slightly marking it with a small dash.
- Next, draw the eyes and muzzle, as shown in the photo.
- Draw some fur in the lower ear with a few strokes and start drawing the upper legs.
- Now all that remains is to finish drawing the body and tail of the tiger cub. Use an arc to mark the lower left paw.
- In conclusion, draw the pads on the paws and stripes, and then color the tiger tug with colored felt-tip pens.
That's how easy it is to become an artist.
Another way to draw a tiger
Art schools teach how to draw people and animals using geometric shapes. That is, first circles, ovals, rectangles, rhombuses are drawn and, starting from them, smoother lines and contours of future figures are drawn.
Let's try to draw a tiger this way. Seems impossible? But that's not true. If you draw it step by step, then everything is not so difficult.
To begin, draw two not quite even circles on a piece of paper. One is larger, and the second - at the back - is smaller.
Inside the first circle, draw another circle offset to the left and up from the center.
Use thin symmetrical lines to outline the lines of the eyes and forehead.
Use an uneven rectangle to outline the tiger’s face and draw the ears, eyes and nose, and use zigzag lines and strokes for the fur on the head.
The next step is the body (back), paws and tail of the predator. Then - fur on the chest and belly. And finally - stripes with a black felt-tip pen or pencil. The photo shows very well and clearly all the stages of drawing.
Maybe such a gorgeous drawing won’t work out the first time, but if you get good at it, then you won’t be ashamed to hang such a picture on the wall in the most visible place.
In the same way, try to draw a few more versions of tigers from famous cartoons.

New Year's Tiger Cub: step by step
To decorate your child’s room for the New Year, draw him a New Year’s tiger cub. Drawing it is not at all difficult, just look at how it is done step by step in the photo below and try to repeat it. There are several options, so choose the one you like best.
And here is another version of a tiger cub in a New Year's hat - in the video.
Drawing a tiger with kids
If mom or dad has a free evening, then they can easily devote it to drawing tigers and cubs with their children. Even the smallest children, with parental help, will be able to draw very simple but cute tiger cubs and growling adult tigers. Using the technique of geometric shapes, it is very simple to draw such a roaring tiger.
Or this cute, not even evil tiger.
And even a 2-3 year old child can draw such funny tigers.
Draw a simple and funny tiger cub with your child, not scary at all and similar to a cat.
First, draw a circle for the head and an oval for the body. Immediately draw in a long tail and “fish” eyes with vertical pupils. The nose is a triangle and from it there are two arches of the mouth.
Draw the paws with light, slightly curved ovals to create the impression of movement. Inside the ears, draw another triangle or semicircle.
After coloring the tiger red, do not forget to draw black tiger stripes. To make it a winter tiger, instead of green grass, draw white snow, falling snowflakes, and a winter forest around.
Drawing a realistic tiger with schoolchildren
Middle school students will certainly be interested in learning how to draw a tiger in a more realistic manner. There are several options for drawing it. For example:
- in motion or jumping;
- lying;
- standing;
- sitting;
- just his head.
It is quite possible to draw a tiger growling angrily.
Or, conversely, good-natured and kind.
Girls will probably fall in love not with adult tigers, but with little tiger cubs.
And high school students will choose the image of a striped predator, made using oriental painting techniques.
But a teenager will be able to draw such tigers only if he already has some drawing skills and understands what perspective and visualization of a drawing are. The sooner parents start drawing with their child, the easier it will be to teach him the simplest sketches, from which he will then move on to more complex, detailed drawings.
It's best to start with a simple pencil rather than felt-tip pens. Pencil inaccuracies and mistakes are easier to erase and correct than to constantly change paper. Support your child in his endeavors, praise him for successful drawings, console and encourage him if the child is upset due to failures. Always be there, ready to help. The tiger is a strong, noble and persistent animal in its hunt. Tell your child about this predator and its character. Let him become an example for kids who will learn from him perseverance and determination and thereby achieve their goal - to learn to draw beautifully.
