How to Draw a Zebra Face with Stripes
Draw a zebra face with stripes in 10 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: big egg head.
Step 1: Big egg head
Draw a big egg head, narrow at the chin, filling most of the page. Leave room on top for ears.
Step 2: Two big eyes
Halfway down the head, draw 2 big oval eyes close together. Add black dots with shines.
Step 3: Nose and smile
Under the eyes, draw a big egg nose hanging below the chin. Add 2 nostrils and a wide smile.
Step 4: The ears
On each top corner of the head, draw a tall leaf ear pointing up and out, with a soft tip.
Step 5: Inside the ears
Inside each ear, draw a smaller leaf with a little gap all the way round.
Step 6: Brush mane
Between the ears, draw a stiff brush mane: 5 bumps sitting on top of the head.
Step 7: Forehead stripes
Between the eyes and the mane, draw 3 thin rainbow stripes, one above the other, pointed at the ends.
Step 8: Cheek stripes
On each side of the head, level with the eyes, draw 2 pointed stripes curving in.
Step 9: Grey nose, peach ears
Leave the head, ears and eyes white. Colour the nose grey around the nostrils, and inside the ears peach.
Step 10: Black stripes and mane
Colour the stripes and the brush mane black. Your zebra is done!
