How to Draw a Zebra
- Draw the head of the zebra.
Start with the muzzle, sketching it out with a long, flowing line.
- Sketch the torso.
Using some smooth lines, outline the top, bottom, and front edges of the torso.
- Draw the hind legs.
As you can see, they look like vertically extended flowing lines.
- Draw the front legs.
They are similar to the hind legs but have the same thickness along their entire length.
- Add facial details.
Draw the eye, ear, and nose with simple lines.
- Add the mane and tail.
Don’t forget to draw a small tuft at the end of the tail.
- Draw the pattern and lines of the hooves.
The pattern can be of any shape, but I’ve tried to keep this part of the drawing as simple as possible.
- Color the zebra.
Use black or dark gray to paint the mane, tail, hooves, pattern, eyes, and nose.
