Drawing contest|| Drawing of a Tiger 🐅|| by @ddwosky

Hello steemians! I am delighted to take part in this contest, sincere thanks to the initiator of this contest @eliany and I want to also wish other contestants a success too.

Am going to show you my little creative skill by drawing a Tiger, but first let's get to know the animal call tiger.
Tigers are the largest members of the Cat family we can call them wild cat, they are mostly know for their power and strength, it will also interest you to know that tigers hunt mostly at night and
unlike many other wild animals like the lion that hunt in groups tigers do their hunting alone.

Physically they are mostly recognized by their bright reddish tan colors beautifully marked by some black vertical stripes, the limbs the cheeks and a large spot over the eyes are whitish.

An average tiger weighs about 670 pounds and can be as long as 6-10 foot and despite their large body mass a tiger can run as fast as 50-66 kilometers per hour and they can only sustain this speed for a short distance.
Tigers are predators and feed on other animals like pigs and goats.

They are basically two recognized species of tiger namely the continental (Panthera tigris tigris) and the Sunda (Panthera tigris sondaica).

Tigers can be found in amazingly diverse habitats like the rain forests, mangrove swamps, grasslands, even the savannas .

IMPORTANT OF TIGERS TO MAN

Tigers are one of nature's most beautiful and powerful creatures for man to behold that is why we often find them in nature parks where people pay huge amount to see them.
As apex predators, tigers protect the ecosystem which they live.
Tigers prevent overgrazing by limiting the number of animals that feed on plants thereby maintaining ecological integrity.
In some culture tiger skin and clows are used in making royal attires and the bones are believed to have high medicinal value.
Healthy forest habitats help moderate extreme weather events such as cyclone storms and flash floods which are natural disasters harmful to man.

Well personally I have not seen a tiger before in real life but I've seen on Television and I can surely draw one, let me show you how to draw a Tiger and am also inviting @ubongudofot @goodybest and @benton3 with @nsisong99 to take part in this contest as well.

Steps I took

Step 1; I started by drawing the head with the use of pencil

Step 2: I Sketch the body and drew the tail

Step 3 ; I made the black stripes on the body

Step 4; With the use of black coloured pen I emboldened the stripes

Step 5; Finally I tuned red and yellow colours with a touch of black to give the drawing the real color of the Tiger dark-tan color, then I painted the tongue with red as seen below

That's my beautiful tiger
