How to Draw a White Tiger, Draw a Tiger in Pencil

For the sketch we shall begin with a simple figure which does tend to look a bit weird. On the second part, add details, the eyes, ears and nose.

Your sketch should look like this. You may notice some guide lines and skull, you don't need to draw that, I made it just because i looked up some tiger skulls.

You will now make some " guide lines" for the tiger's stripes, you'll see what I mean in the next step. This process is similar to toning.
