How to Draw a Zebra Face

In this drawing tutorial, the team of Drawingforall.net will show you how to draw a zebra face. If you do everything right, you will get a realistic drawing of a zebra head.

Using the methods we shared with you earlier, we’ll show you how to get the most realistic zebra face drawing in the easiest way.

So let’s start the lesson and learn how to draw a zebra face.

 

Step 1

Start by making a simple circle using very light lines, as shown in our example. This simple geometric figure will later serve as the basis for the zebra’s head.

Step 2

After that using a couple of long and slightly curved lines outline the zebra’s neck. Next, depict the face of the zebra with a couple of lines and a small oval.

Step 3

In the middle of the circle from the first step, sketch a line that will help draw the eyes. Next, depict the ears at the top of the circle.

Step 4

Now, at the top of the head and neck, outline the mane as in our example. After that using a smooth line draw the zebra’s jaw at the bottom of the circle.

Step 5

It’s time to start working on the details. Using the line outlined earlier draw the eyes of the zebra. Next, using clear and dark lines, detail the ears, giving them a more complete look.

Step 6

Next, using smooth and clear lines, carefully detail the front of the zebra’s muzzle, drawing the mouth and nostrils.

Step 7

Now, using long and smooth lines, begin to draw the texture on the head and neck of the zebra. You can repeat the texture as in our example or come up with your own.

Step 8

To make the drawing of the zebra’s head look more realistic, fill in the stripes and eyes of the zebra using hatching. Don’t forget to leave glare in the eyes.

Step 9

Add shadows to make the drawing of the zebra’s face more voluminous. We talked about how to draw shadows correctly and what they consist of in our article about light and shadow.
