How to Draw a Yoga Mat
Draw a yoga mat in 10 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: the long roll.
Step 1: The long roll
Below the middle, draw a long sausage shape, flat on top and bottom, three times as long as tall.
Step 2: The round end
Start at the top of the right end and curve down inside it. Stop at the bottom, making an oval.
Step 3: The spiral
Inside the oval, start in the middle and spiral round two times out to the edge.
Tip These are the rolled-up layers of the mat.
Step 4: Strap bands
Near each end of the roll, draw a thin curved band from the top edge down to the bottom edge.
Tip Bend each band the same way as the curve on the round end.
Step 5: Carry strap
Start on top of the left band. Draw a strap arching over the roll, stopping on the right band.
Step 6: Floor and shadow
Draw a floor line under the roll, well past each end. Add a flat curve under it for a shadow.
Step 7: Two sparkles
Above each end of the roll, draw a small 4-point sparkle star.
Step 8: Yellow and grey
Go over your lines. Colour the sparkles yellow and the shadow light grey.
Step 9: Purple mat
Colour the roll and its round end purple, around the strap bands.
Step 10: Slate strap
Colour the 2 bands and the strap over the top slate grey. Your yoga mat is ready to roll!
