1. Introduction and Supplies You Will Need: Hi, friends. How are you? I hope you're having
a great day today. I'm excited about sharing
this project with you. This is a drawing
and painting project that I designed,
especially for kids. Students do not need to have any drawing or
painting experience at all to be successful
with this project. I will guide students step by step through all the steps
that they need to take. Today, we are going
to be creating this cool jungle Tiger. Let's talk about
the supplies and the materials that you will
need for this project. The first thing
that you'll need is a sheet of thick white paper. You will need some paints. I'm going to be using
some tempera paint, but you can also use either
acrylic or poster paints. You will need the color
black for the outline. And then I am going
to be using red, white, green, yellow and orange. You do not need
these exact colors. Just use what you have
available to you. You can use some
water if you like. This is optional. Sometimes I use water to clean
out my paint brushes, and sometimes I just
use my paper towel. So it's up to you if you'd
like to use the water. You will also need a pencil with an eraser and two different
sized paint brushes. You'll need a larger paint brush for the bigger spaces and a smaller paint brush for the outlines and
the smaller spaces. You will need a paper towel, and also you'll need
something to hold your paint. So we need a little
paint palette. I like to use a
small paper plate. So go ahead and gather all of those supplies
and materials, and I'll see you back
here in the next video.
2. Step 1: Draw a Tiger: In this step, we are going
to draw our tiger design. So let's get started. The first thing
that we're going to do is pick up our pencil. We're going to come down
maybe about 6 " from the top. That would be maybe nine or
10 centimeters from the top. And right here in the middle, we're going to make a short
curved line like this. This is going to be the
top of our tiger's head. Now we're going to make the ears on either side of this line. So Tigers have
relatively pointy ears, so we're going to make
two slanted lines, one coming up and
one coming down. There we go. So here we
have the top of the head, and then we have the ears. Now let's make some of that fur on the side
of their heads, and it's going to be
a little bit fluffy, so we're going to make a
curve line coming down, touching that ear, coming in, coming down, coming
back in, coming down. We're going to stop
about right there. Now we're going to do the
same thing on the other side. So slightly curved
line, come in a little. Another curve line, come in, another curve line, and then we're going to
stop about right there. Now let's turn our attention
to the face of our tiger. We're going to make two eyes, and they're going
to be a little bit slanted like cat eyes are. So we're going to start
here in the middle, come down to about right
here, and then right here. Those are going to be our
guide dots for our eyes. So let's start with
this eye right here. Let's make a line, a curve line from that dot. Like this, and then we're
going to close that eye up. Like that. That's
our first cat eye. Now let's make
another cat eye here, starting at that dot. And then close that up. If they're not exactly
the same, that's okay. Now what we're going to
do is we're going to create an iris inside that eye. So curve line, curve line, same on this eye, another curve line here, and then we're going
to make a pupil, which is just going to
be a straight line down the middle of that circle that
we just made for the iris. Now, from here, we're
going to make the nose, so we're going to come
down from the eyes. We're going to make a
straight line coming down on either side, and then we're going to
close that space up. Underneath this,
we're going to make a small triangle that's going to be the
nose of our tiger. And then down here underneath the nose, we're going
to make the mouth. So straight line. And then we're going to make
another straight line. That goes right through that initial first
line coming down. This is going to be the mouth. Going to double that up
a little bit like this. At a little bit of
extra darkness, a little bit of extra
paint right there. Now we're going to come back
here underneath the eyes, and we're not going
to touch the eye, but we're going to make
a curve line coming down almost to touch the
mouth, but not quite. Do the same thing on this side. And then we're
going to make a jaw right here at the bottom
underneath the mouth, so curve around and
then curve back up. So now you can probably see the tiger's face
coming together. My tigers a little bit tilting
the head a little bit, so just so you know that yours might look a little bit
different from mine. Now that we have the jaw set, what we can do is we
can come in and we can attach this curve line to the jaw and the same
thing on this side. There we go. Now
let's make the body, which is down here, going
to just make a curve line. This is more of a portrait, so we're not going
to be able to see the whole entire body. And then another curve
line right here. Now, let's come back up and
let's create some whiskers. So I'm going to have some
whiskers coming here. They're just going
to be pretty short. If you'd like to
make yours a little bit longer, go
ahead and do that. Now, what makes a tiger a
tiger are the stripes, right? So let's create some stripes. I'm going to make some stripes
up here on the forehead. So maybe two strips here, and then two stripes
on this side. And then I'm going to come
down here to the body, and I'm going to make some
more stripes coming down from the edge of
the body like this. But of course, this
is your artwork, so you can make your
stripes any which way you can make more triangle
stripes if you'd like. It's completely up to you. Light make one more stripe here. Go ahead and take a look
at your tiger portrait, and if you see
anything else that you'd like to add, you
can go ahead and do that. I think I'm going
to add a little bit more detail to my ears. I'm just looking at them and they look a
little bit plain. Remember, we need to make
sure that we keep it simple because if you
add a lot of details, sometimes those details are going to be covered
up with the paint, so we need to make sure that the lines are very
clean and simple. Alright. Go ahead and
add anything else that you like to your tiger
design. I think I'm finished. I'm really happy with the
way that my tiger looks. So in the next step, we
are going to come back, and we are going to apply some black paint to
our pencil lines.
3. Step 2: Outline the Tiger Design with Black Paint: In this step, we
are going to apply some black paint to
our pencil lines. So let's get started. I'm going to use my
smaller paint brush because I want my lines
to be pretty thin. I'm going to remember to keep my paint brush more vertical straight up and down as possible so that my
line is pretty thin. If I go like this and
I paint like this, then my line will
not be as thin. Okay. So I already have some paint here on
my paper plate, and you need to remember you only need a small
amount of paint. It's a lot easier to pour
more paint onto your piece of paper than it is to put your
paint back into the bottle. So we want to make sure
that we don't waste paint, and you just need to
use what you have. So what we're going
to do is we are going to start by
loading our paint brush, and we're going to
start at the top. Of our drawing, and then we're going
to move our way down. And the reason why
we're doing it that way is because if you started
here at the nose or mouth, you might set your
hand into your paint, and then it will smear
all over the place. So I do encourage my students to start closer to the top
of your piece of paper. That way, the chance of
smearing is less likely. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to just slowly
and carefully cover all of those pencil lines and I'm going to
speed up this video, and you can watch me, and I'll see you back
here in just a minute. Alrighty friends, I'm
finished painting my outline. I'm finished covering
my pencil lines with my black paint. And what you can do at
this point is you can use your handy dandy paper
towel to take some of that paint off of
your paint brush. And then if you would
like to use ear water, you can go ahead and use that. I like to take a lot
of my paint off with my off of my paint brush
with my paper towel. That way, my water doesn't
get super dirty and black, especially with the
black cause the black is a very powerful color. So I'm going to dry that. And the reason why I'm
going to dry it is because I don't want
the water to get into my other paint
because then it will become very runny. Alright. What we're going to do now, and this is a really
important step, what we're going to do now
is we are going to allow this painting to dry completely before we
start with the next step, which is adding some
paint to our design. If we added paint
to our design right now and the black
paint is still wet, it will smear and smudge around
into the colorful paint. So we want to make sure that we allow this
enough time to dry. So after your painting is dry, I will see you in
the next video.
4. Step 3: Paint the Design: In this step, we are going
to paint our tiger design. So let's get started. As you can see, I've already put my paint onto my palette, and I use just a small
amount for the red and the yellow because
I'm going to use a little bit of the red plus
the white for the nose. And then with the yellow, I'm going to put a little bit of yellow for the eyes because I know that tigers have that
yellowish greenish eye. So and then I have some
green for the background, and then some white that I'm going to mix
with that green. And then I also have some
orange for the tiger, and I'm also going to mix that with a
little bit of white. So that's all of my colors
that I have on my palette, and I'm going to put these
paints back over here. So they're out of the way. There we go. And if you feel like
you want to use your water to do some
cleaning of your brushes, you can go ahead and do that. Sometimes I just
wipe my brushes off on the handy dandy paper
towel to clean them. And I don't worry about
using the water at all, but sometimes I
do use the water. Water's there in case you
do want to use it. Okay? The one thing that I'd like
to caution you with though, if you do use the water, make sure that before you
use a different color, you dry all of the water
off of your paint brush so that the water
doesn't get into the paint because the
paint will get too wet. Okay? So I have my two
paint brushes here. One's a little bit larger and
one's a little bit smaller. So for the smaller areas
like the nose and the eyes, I'm going to use the
smaller paint brush, and for the larger areas, I will be using the
larger paint brush. So you might see me switching off between the
two paint brushes. Alright? Alright, so
let's get started. I'm going to start
with the eyes, and then I'm going
to move to the nose, and then I'm going to
paint the actual tiger. And then on the next
step in the next video, then we will do the background. Alright? So I'm going to
get started on the eyes, and I'm going to use a combination of the
green and the white, and then I'm going to also add a little bit of
yellow to the mix. So let me add a
little bit of yellow. Oh, that's nice. You will get some
of the paint onto the black, and that's okay. Just do the best that
you can on that. It's hard to keep it off
of the black completely. Just do the best that you can. Now that I have
the eyes painted, I'm going to move to the nose, a little bit of white
and a tiny bit of red, and that's going to make pink. So a little pink nose. And then I'm going to
wipe that off onto my handy dandy paper
towel rinse it. Make sure that waters off
before I use the next color. So the next color
I'm going to be using is orange with a
little bit of white, and I'm going to be
using my larger pabush and going to just double load, which means I'm going
to dip in the white, and I'm also going to
dip into the orange. Then I think what I'm
going to do is I'm going to just speed up this video and I will see you
back here in just a minute. Thank you Alrighty friends, I'm finished painting
the actual tiger. I really like how it turned out. I decided to use a little bit of pink on the
inside of the ears, and I want you to
know that it's okay if the pink gets a little
bit on the black line, the outline, that's okay. That happens to me, as well.
I like the look of that. So I hope that you do, as well. When we come back, we will
start painting the background.
5. Step 4: Paint the Background: A In this step, we are going to paint
the background. So let's get started. I'm going to use a combination
of green and white. And what I'm going to do is I am going to double load
my larger paint brush, make sure all that water
gets off of there. Double load the paint
brush with my white and my green because I want there to be a mixture of white and green. I don't want the
background to be too dark. So I'm not going to blend
in the colors very much. I'm just going to let there be some separation between
the green and the white. And I'm going to speed up this
video so you can watch me. Alrighty friends, I'm finished painting my tiger
portrait design, and I really like the
way that it turned out. I hope that you had a lot
of fun with this project, and I will see you next time. I
