Description: Another concept I haven't done lately is draw anime style animals. I was thinking and thinking as to what type of animal I could turn into anime form. I know I had a lion, wolf, dog, cat, and fox, but I didn't have a tiger. So here is "how to draw an anime tiger" and as you can see it is as sweet as can be. I wasn't sure if I was going to go with a serious realistic looking tiger, or the one you see here. I guess it's pretty obvious that I chose to go with an anime tiger that is child like, but also anime-ish. The idea for this tiger came from the one in Aladdin. Remember Rajah? Well I tried to make him look like Rajah after Jafar turned him into a small baby kitty when Aladdin was trying to free the princess from the sands of time. I think this tiger came out looking pretty cute. So what's my overall verdict on how I did? Okay! Drawing anime animals can be tricky at times which is why I went with a smaller cub like version. I know there are a lot of members and visitors that love anime style animals so I wanted to make sure that everyone had the chance to draw what they like. Well, I guess that's all I can really say about this anime animal. I do want to tell you guys to have fun, and be sure to let me know if you enjoyed drawing an anime tiger of your own. Adios people and peace out!
