Steps To Draw A Tiger
Follow the steps below to easily draw a tiger step by step.

Step 1
We are starting by drawing a perfect circle like below in the image. You can even use a compass or any circular object to draw a circle. ( Roughly )

Step 2
Now, draw the tiger’s body part, draw a curved line for the back-side of the tiger, similarly now draw front two(2) legs and back legs, draw according to it. ( Roughly )

Step 3
Now, draw the head of the tiger, draw in the same circle(Step1) and in the top of the head draw two tiger’s ears, draw a half-small circle on the right side and left side of the head for drawing the ears and inside the ears draw another small half circle. And in the centre of the ears draw small hairs facing the right and left side, draw as shown in the drawing below. ( Fairly )

Step 4
Similarly, now for the front side of the legs, draw the hind legs of the tiger and curve it to draw the foot and claws of the tiger and repeat the steps for drawing another leg, and draw a bit long legs and in the middle of the right and left leg curve it a bit for the furry chest of the tiger, draw according to the image.
