Description: Hello all you avid artists out there and welcome back to another drawing tutorial that will once again fall in the tattoo category. I think most of you will find this next tattoo design absolutely amazing and full of animal energy. I am going to show you how to draw a tiger tattoo step by step. Tiger tattoos are probably one of the most popular animals that get inked on people’s bodies no matter what body part that might be. I love tigers, and because of that I wanted to draw a tattoo that sort of resembles my fathers tattoo that he has on his shoulder. The yin tang was a nice touch I think because as you know tigers, are often used with Asian designs. The flames are freakin awesome as well and I also added three Chinese words that represent each object in the drawing. I think you will find drawing animal tattoo designs is a lot easier than most people think. I am putting this art in my favorites section on my art portfolio that I have. Well anyway, I am going to leave you guys now but I shall return with more drawing fun. In the mean time you should tackle this lesson on how to draw a tiger tattoo step by step. Peace out and happy drawing.
