How to Draw a Leotard
Draw a leotard in 11 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: neck and straps.
Step 1: Neck and straps
Near the top, start with a flat strap, then a deep U for the neck, and end with another strap.
Step 2: The sides
From each strap end, curve out under the arm, go down, in at the waist, and out to the hip.
Step 3: Leg holes
From each hip, curve down and in to the bottom. Join the 2 ends with a short flat line.
Step 4: Neck trim
Draw a second U a little wider and deeper than the neck, from strap top to strap top.
Step 5: Leg trims
Start on the left side just above the hip. Follow the leg holes round to the right side.
Step 6: The band
Across the middle, draw 2 curves from side to side, one under the other, bowing down like smiles.
Step 7: A star
Under the band, draw a big 5-point star in the middle. Start at the top point and zigzag round.
Step 8: Sparkles
Draw 2 small sparkle stars, one high on the left and one low on the right.
Step 9: Yellow star
Go over your lines, then colour the star and the 2 sparkles yellow.
Step 10: Pink trims and band
Colour the neck trim, the leg trims and the band pink.
Step 11: Purple leotard
Colour the rest of the leotard purple, around the pink and the star. Your leotard is ready for the gym!
