A seated tiger grinning wide at the viewer is exactly the pose this guide captures for Rajah, Princess Jasmine’s loyal companion from the Aladdin series. Learning how to draw Rajah means working through a relaxed but expressive pose that balances cartoon proportions with bold stripe patterns.
What the 19 Steps Actually Cover
The tutorial runs through 19 steps and wraps up as clean line art rather than a colored result, so every step focuses on shapes, outlines, and stripe placement. The seated posture with the tail curled around front looks compact, but getting the rounded body mass and consistent stripe angles right takes patience. Most of the detail work lands in the face and the stripe pass across the torso.
Rajah’s Key Visual Features
- Cartoon tiger seated upright, facing forward
- Wide grin with large round eyes
- Bold diagonal stripes across the body
- Long tail curled along the ground
- Rounded paws with segmented toes
If you want to build out the full cast while you practice, the Sultan of Agrabah and Iago are both covered in separate step-by-step guides on the site. Adding Genie with the lamp to the collection gives you a nice range of the film’s supporting characters.
Reading the Color Coding in Step Images
Each step image uses a simple three-color system to show exactly what to draw and when:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
