How to Draw a Tank Top
- Draw the sides of the tank top.
To start your tank top, draw two parallel lines vertically, ensuring they’re equidistant to define the garment’s sides; these lines guide the sleeveless shirt’s width and shape.
- Depict the bottom of the tank top.
Connect the two vertical lines at the bottom with a smooth, horizontal line to form the base of your sleeveless shirt, completing the garment’s essential outline.
- Add the armhole.
At the top of each vertical line, gently sketch a curved line inward to create the armholes, mirroring the contours as depicted in the example for symmetry.
- Sketch out the top outline.
Now, on each upper edge of the tank top’s body, carefully sketch short horizontal lines inward. These lines will mark the beginning of the sleeveless shirt’s straps, giving shape to the arm openings.
- Draw the neck.
Gently draw a soft, curving line connecting the top ends of the vertical lines you’ve drawn earlier. This creates the neckline of the sleeveless shirt, rounding it off for a natural, comfortable look.
- Depict the reverse side of the sleeveless shirt.
Carefully draw another delicate, curved line above the first one, tracing the shape of the armholes of the tank top. Ensure these lines mirror the natural slope of shoulders, forming the garment’s straps.
- Detail the sleeveless shirt.
Trace along the edges of the tank top with fine lines to indicate seams. These seam lines should follow the contours of the sleeveless shirt’s armholes, neckline, and bottom hem, adding a touch of realism.
- Color the drawing.
Select a spectrum of grays to add depth to your tank top drawing. Begin with a lighter gray to color the main body. For the sleeveless shirt’s interior, select a mid-tone gray to suggest shadowed fabric within.
