✏️ Step-by-Step Guide to Drawing a Cartoon Tiger
Step 1: Draw the Head
Start with a large circle for the tiger’s head. You can use a cup or lid to trace a perfect circle if needed.

Step 2: Add the Ears
Draw two small rounded ears on top of the head. Add a smaller curve inside each ear for detail.

Step 3: Sketch the Face
Draw two big circular eyes near the middle of the head. Add small circles inside for the pupils.

Draw a rounded triangle for the nose just below the eyes.

Add a wide “W” shape under the nose to form the tiger’s smiling mouth.

Don't forget the cute little whisker dots!

Step 4: Create the Body
Under the head, draw a smaller oval shape for the body. It should look chubby and soft—just like a cartoon tiger!

Step 5: Draw the Legs and Tail
Draw two short legs with rounded paws at the bottom of the body.

Add two side paws as curved shapes coming out from the sides.

Draw a long, curvy tail sticking out from one side. Make it rounded at the tip.

Step 6: Add the Stripes
Use small curved lines to draw stripes on the head, body, tail, and legs. You can add 3 stripes on the head, a few on the back, and some on the tail for that classic tiger look.

Step 7: Time to Color!
Color your cartoon tiger with:

Orange for the body

Black for the stripes, eyes, and nose

Pink for the inner ears and tongue (if drawn)

White for the paws and belly

🎨 Pro Tips for Even Cuter Tigers:
Add a small bow tie or scarf to personalize your tiger
