How to Draw a Tiger Roaring

1. Begin the tiger roaring outline by drawing the tiger's face. Use curved lines to outline the brow and top of the nose.

Enclose the triangular shapes of the nose and eye. Shade an oval within the eye to form the pupil and one in the nose to form the nostril. Draw a short line above the eye and a longer line below the nose. Connect it to the nose with a short line.

2. Draw the cartoon tiger's open mouth. Use a curved line to draw the mouth. Then, enclose large and small triangular teeth within the mouth. Use another curved one to indicate the tongue.

3. Draw a curved line between the upper and lower jaw. Use a curved line to enclose each ear, and a series of curved lines for the furry chin. Contour the nose, jawline, and ears using curved lines.

4. Begin sketching the tiger's mobile body. Use a series of curved lines - some overlapping and some meeting at jagged points - to draw the back of the head and shoulder, the neck, the chest, and the foreleg.

5. Use curved lines to complete the foreleg. Then, draw the rear leg. Extend a long curved line and double it back upon itself. Detail the toes with overlapping curved lines. Then, connect the legs with a curved line indicating the belly.

6. Extend a long curved line from the shoulder. Double it back upon itself to form the tail. Then, use curved lines to sketch the remaining front and rear legs. Notice how the overlapping lines detail the toes of the front paw.

7. Complete the rear leg using a long curved line. Then, shade the back of the ear. Create jagged, triangular stripes around the eyes, on the forehead, the side of the face, and the shoulders.

8. Shade more stripes across the neck, chest, back, and tail. Make sure the tip of the tail is shaded as well.

9. Complete your tiger roaring outline by shading stripes along the belly and legs.

Color your cartoon of a fearsome roaring tiger. We've shaded ours orange and white with black stripes. Some tigers are white with black stripes and blue eyes.
