How to Draw a Lacrosse Stick
This sports item has a complex and unusual shape, yet with this tutorial it will be easy to follow and learn how to draw a lacrosse stick.
In this tutorial, I will show you how to draw a lacrosse stick. Such a stick is used in a sports game. Lacrosse is a team game where teams aim to hit the opponent’s goal with a rubber ball while using a special stick.
This long stick has a scoop to help pick up the ball from the ground and has a net on the end that serves to catch the ball. All these parts are shown in the figure. As you can see, the construction of the lacrosse stick is very simple.
You can easily complete this lesson, even if you have little experience in drawing. This lesson consists of six simple steps, and any aspiring artist can easily cope with such a task. In the process of work, you can use the little tips that I have prepared for you.

How to Draw a Lacrosse Stick
- Create the shaft shape.
Let’s begin this sports equipment with a long shaft, so start with a simple rectangle drawn at a diagonal angle. Make it long and narrow. Keep both sides parallel so it looks straight and symmetrical. A ruler might help if you want sharp, clean edges, but freehand drawing will help you to practice drawing straight lines. The length can be varied depending on what type of lacrosse stick you want to represent.
- Sketch the stick cap.
Since lacrosse sticks have a small cap at the bottom for grip, let’s sketch that next. At the lower end of the shaft, draw a short rectangle to represent the rubber or plastic end. If you want to represent another variation, try adding some texture or cross-hatch lines to show grip.
- Draw the lacrosse stick head.
Now it’s time to move upward and draw the head of the lacrosse stick. From the top of the shaft, sketch an elongated oval-like frame, almost like a teardrop or pear shape. You can make the head narrower or wider than in my example.
- Sketch the inside edge.
To make the head look more realistic, add an inner outline following the shape you just drew. Sketch another curve inside the first one, leaving some space between them to represent the thickness of the frame. Keep this second line consistent in distance all the way around.
- Add thickness to the head.
The lacrosse head isn’t just a thin outline; it has reinforced sides. To show this, add another line beneath the lower part of the frame. This creates the impression of a strong, durable edge.
- Draw the crisscross mesh.
With the frame complete, it’s time to illustrate the net. Inside the head shape, sketch diagonal lines crossing each other to form a crisscross pattern, resembling a mesh. If you want a more detailed variation, you can make the mesh tighter with smaller diamonds, or for a simplified version, draw only a few crossing lines.
- Sketch the arc inside the net.
To make the net more realistic, add a few curved lines across it. These arcs should follow the inside curve of the head, giving the mesh a stretched look as if it’s ready to catch a ball.
- Paint the shaft and head.
The final stage is to finalize the lacrosse stick with color, so paint the shaft in a natural brown or wooden tone, or choose gray if you want a metal version. The head frame is often white, gray, or black, but you can experiment with brighter colors if you’d like a personalized design.
How to Draw a Lacrosse Stick in 6 Steps
To draw this simplified version of a lacrosse stick, outline the curved shape of the head with a simple contour. Attach a long, straight shaft extending from the base of the head.
Next, add an inner outline inside the head to show its frame. Then sketch small sections along the shaft to indicate grip areas. After that, draw the crisscross net pattern inside the head using diagonal intersecting lines.
Once the outline is complete, color the shaft in brown or gray, using gray for the head. But as with any other sports equipment, you can color a lacrosse stick in any other color.
