This guide is about how to draw a cute baby tiger in a simple cartoon style. The version I’m showing here is beginner-friendly, and it’s based on smooth shapes, symmetry, and a few carefully placed stripes. It’s not very complex, so you can use it as a fun warm-up sketch or as a base for a coloring project.
What to Focus on While Drawing This Baby Tiger
- Large rounded head with small ears
- Simple facial features: oval eyes, triangular nose, and a soft smile
- Short legs and sitting posture with visible toes
- Simplified paws
- Curved tail with alternating black stripes
- Evenly spaced black stripes on the head, cheeks, body, and limbs
Once you’re done, you could try drawing other baby animals in a similar style – like a goat, elephant, or cow – to build a unique animal-themed set.
