Tips on How to Draw a Tiger Face

Kids may find it challenging to engage in drawing realistic faces of tigers, so it is better to offer simple methods to make them artistically represent a tiger face. In this article, we have included some simple tips that can be effortlessly followed by kids. 

• Before engaging in sketching, collect all the required materials. A white paper, pencil, eraser, ruler, marker and colour supplies are enough to sketch a tiger’s face. 
• To improve the precision and ease the drawing process, it will be better to use grid lines. 
• Draw a large oval shape in the middle of the paper to form the outline of the tiger’s face. 
• Below the horizontal grid line, use simple curve lines and sketch a nose. 
• To form the sides of the nose, draw a slanted straight line connecting the nose and the top part of the face. 
• Draw two additional slanted lines in the bottom part of the nose to form the cheeks.
• Draw two ears. To improve the precision, kids can use a compass while sketching the ears. 
• To form the tiger’s skin pattern, draw simple triangles on the outline of the face except for the area below the nose and chin.
• Draw two eyes and a mouth. Since this is a simple artistic representation, kids can use simple curves to form the eyes and mouth. Make it appear as cute as possible to make the picture more likeable. 
• After completing the texture, draw the whiskers. Kids can sketch them easily using a ruler. 
• As the final step of the exercise, trace the outline with a black marker and fill the spaces with the right set of colours. Kids can use black colour to fill the triangle texture and nose, orange to fill the face, pink to fill the ear, and a beige colour to fill the area under the nose.
