Zebra Drawing

If your students would like to learn how to draw a zebra, and make it look a little more realistic, without getting too frustrated, then this might be just what you are looking for. This drawing tutorial will show them how to make that basic body shape, which looks a lot like a horse, but then add all those stripes that make them look so unique. Students that are just learning how to draw can add all those little triangles with straight lines, and their zebra will look just fine. But those that want to take on more of a challenge can try to make them curved just a bit, as is seen on the back of the zebra in my example. Those curves go a long way in making a zebra look more dimensional, and not quite so flat.

More Zebra inspiration

From my archives, and experimenting with stock art ideas. This hasn’t been made into a tutorial yet, but those that like the idea could just use either zebra lesson and add these colors as desired. I liked using tempera cake paint as it was easier to control than watercolor, and the colors were more dense too. Anyhow, feel free to make your own variations (and then share them with me please!
