Arts, Life..My Kind of Idea

Ok..as i promised, this is another step by step of drawing (my style!)..this time around..It's a tiger resting in the jungle..It's a simple one with a bit of body parts..(i'm interested in drawing the facial)

First of course, draw the guidelines which includes circle for the face+head and a
line for the body. You may also want to draw some surrounding elements found in the picture of the tiger. Try to play with lines so that it looks proportion and logical.


Next, what i did was putting few lines to indicate areas for eyes, nose and mouth. Then you can visualised the face by adding ears. Sometimes, i'd like to draw secondary elements before the overall face. At this point, i started to draw the stripes. The stripes wasn't 100% exactly as on the picture. So not to worry..

Later, i draw the nose, eyes and did some rendering..(to make me feel that this drawing is going to be nice)..


I will focused on the facial expression and tried to render as good as possible..Also rendering the stripes! This photo of a tiger doesn't have much shadow to play with, so i did only mild rendering.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO ERASE YOUR GUIDELINES BEFORE STARTING YOUR "HEAVY" RENDERING!


This is the tiger's face..the image is a bit blurry (sorry!)..I will continue my rendering until i'm satisfied..

To me, the face wasn't intense enough and i didn't draw the best i could..and again, sorry for the blurry images!!

Finally, the end product..The body is a little short than it should..so if you analyse my drawing, the proportion is not good due to shorter body length. Maybe you can learn from my mistakes!!


Hope you'll learned something in this guide..Why don't you try to draw...and GOOD LUCK!!
