   Add the Siberian tiger’s ears by drawing two pointed shapes on top of its head. Next, create a diagonal line on both ears.

   Create the Siberian tiger’s striped fur pattern by forming thin pointed shapes on its body. Don’t forget to draw an oval around both of its eyes.

6. Complete The Siberian Tiger Drawing

   

   Let’s give life to our drawing of a Siberian tiger by adding some color! First, use a dark brown crayon to fill in the striped pattern on its fur. Next, use a pink crayon to color its nose. Now, use a cream colored crayon to color the bottom part of its face, the inner parts of its ears, its underbelly, paws and the underside of its tail. Then, use an orange crayon to color the rest of the Siberian tiger’s body.
