How to Draw a T-Shirt
Draw a T-shirt 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: collar and shoulders.
Step 1: Collar and shoulders
Draw a U neck hole, a rainbow on top. From each end slope a shoulder out, stopping a hand away.
Tip Start a little above the middle of your paper. Make the shoulders wide.
Step 2: Soft sleeves
From each shoulder end draw a short droopy sleeve: down the outside, a slanted cuff, back up to the armpit.
Tip Each sleeve is a short droopy tube, 2 fingers long.
Step 3: Body
From the left armpit draw a side down, a sagging hem across, and back up to the right armpit.
Tip The sides flare out a little. Keep the body wider than it is tall.
Step 4: Happy face
High on the chest draw 2 big round eyes with black dots, a small open smile and 2 round cheeks.
Step 5: Cuff bands
On each sleeve draw a second line a finger in from the cuff, from the outside down to the underside.
Step 6: Collar and hem bands
In the neck hole draw a shallow U from one side across to the other. Draw another above the hem.
Step 7: Closet rod
Well above the collar draw a long skinny bar with round ends, a little past each shoulder.
Step 8: Hanger and hook
From the collar draw a small tent up to a point under the rod, then a hook over it.
Step 9: Sleeve stars
In the middle of each sleeve draw a big 5-point star, zigzagging round from the top point back to it.
Step 10: Peach cheeks, blue shirt
Colour the cheeks peach, then the shirt sky blue around them. Leave the eyes, stars, collar and bands white.
Step 11: Red stars, grey rod
Colour the 2 stars red and the rod grey. Go over all your lines and your t-shirt is done!
