Art Project Tutorial:

Prep: Draw Your Tiger Eyes

If you haven't already, check out this simple tutorial for drawing your tiger eyes first.

View Resource

Step 1

For this art project we're using our Crayola Oil Pastels. We're using: white, peach, light brown, light orange, light green, medium green, yellow

Step 2

Using your light orange, color in all the areas shown. I always refer to the inspiration photo to see which way the tigers fur is moving, and make sure that I color in that direction. This is important later as we blend colors.

Step 3

Use your light brown and begin adding little marks of color where the eye meets the nose. Use your finger to blend in the direction of the fur.

Step 4

Add in more blended brown in the upper and lower corners.

Step 5

Use peach to color in the eye, leaving a crescent moon shape at the bottom. Use your light orange to draw lines radiating form the pupil. (see next photo)

Step 6

Use your light brown and draw in more lines radiating from the center. Lightly blend with your finger.

Step 7

More lines with black. Gently TAP the black to blend it in.

Step 8

More lines with light green. Tapping to blend.

Step 9

Add a few dabs of yellow. Add a crecent line of yellow at the bottom of your white mood..

Step 10

Use white to go over your crescent moon, then add a white circle just above and right of the pupil.

Step 11

Repeat these steps for the other eye. Notice the white circle is on the upper left of the pupil (like a mirror image)

Step 12

Using your white, begin pulling the orange fur down in the direction that it goes. Refer to your inspiration photo often as a tigers fur changes direction often!

Step 13

You can add small dabs of black, then blend them in with your finger. This will create a depth to your picture.

Step 14

Make sure you're finger blending in the direction of the fur. A little black goes a long way!

Step 15

Use your black to go over your sharpie marker with little fur lines. I did this just so the black areas looked more like fur and had some texture to them.

Step 16

Choosing the color of your frame is half the fun, I love how black looked, and the bottom area is a great spot for tiger facts or even some poetry!

Art Project Tutorial:

Step 1

For this art project you'll need to cut your paper in half lengthwise. NOTE: I'm using a sharpie so you can see my drawing, but you should use a pencil and eraser. You will go over your pencil with your marker at the end.

Step 2

Starting about one inch down on the left side make this backwards J shape.

Step 3

Add a curved line, stopping before you meet the bottom of your J.

Step 4

Continue the J into the top part of a circle, (which will be the eye) then bring the curvy line down to the bottom of the page.

Step 5

Create the bottom half of the eye as shown. Repeat this process on the other side of your paper in a mirror image. Don't worry if they are not exactly the same, mine aren't, just try to get the eyes level....use a ruler across as a guide if needed.

Step 6

Add curvy triangles under each of the eyes. Remember you are doing a mirror image on the other side.

Step 7

A sideways flying bird.

Step 8

Two upside down mountain peaks. Note the curvy lines being used, not straight mountains. Turn your paper over if it helps.

Step 9

Vertical elongagted diamond shape

Step 10

Make the eye shape by drawing a flattened circle shape. See how it is slightly flattened at the top

Step 11

Repeat all your markings for the other side of your paper. Remember it's a mirror image, but doesn't have to be exact.

Step 12

Your tiger nose is framed by black markings. Draw three diamond shapes as seen above. Your diamonds are curving diagonally..see next photo:

Step 13

See how your diamonds have a curve to them. They aren't exactly the same either, but you do want to try to get a similar amount of curve to them...... this is good!

Step 14

We're going to draw mountains up the middle of the nose....start small, with each one getting just a tad larger.

Step 15

As you draw the larger mountains, leave aren't perfect mountains!

Step 16

The top mountain is quite a bit thicker and more squiggly. We will come fill it in later, but try to get some squiggles in there for now.

Step 17

Use your Black Sharpie to go back and color in all your markings. Leave some blank white space around the eye area as shown.

Step 18

When you get to your mountains, color them in with a shaky hand :) You don't want them looking like perfect mountains. Thicken them up a bit, add some blob to your top mountain, and draw random blobs on the sides.

Step 19

Add some details to your other markings. You can draw in some extra blobs, and connect your bird/mountain to the top of your paper.

Step 20

Here is how my tiger looks all filled in and with it's extra markings.

Part 2: Coloring with Oil Pastel

Now that you've drawn your tiger eyes, come see how to color them with oil pastels in the second part of our tutorial.

Tiger Eyes Oil Pastel Tutorial

July 9, 2013 By Valerie Mcclintick 3 Comments

20130706_150334

We are getting tons of use from our Crayola Oil Pastels.
I’ve purchased other pastel kits in the past, but I love the amount of crayon you get with this set. They are so much thicker and have lasted us much longer.

Plus they are nice for little hands.

pastels

Amazon currently has them for $3.88 and free shipping as an add on for Prime
I highly recommend them!
They are wonderful quality, and produce stunning results:

I know right?!

This is our latest project, Tiger Eyes!

I’ve posted the two part photo tutorial

Drawing your Tiger Eyes
Using Oil Pastel on Tiger Eyes

I’m guessing that this would be perfect for 6th and 7th graders,
or very enthusiastic elementary students.

The tiger is the national animal of India, and would also tie ie with our previous oil pastel tutorial of India’s national bird, the peacock.

Can you guess what country we’ll be studying this coming year?
