How to Draw The Rolling Stones Logo

For music fans and those who want to learn how to illustrate emblems, we have prepared this lesson on how to draw the Rolling Stones logo

This logo is known to anyone who loves classic old rock from the mid-twentieth century. You can see this logo on album covers, on T-shirts of Rolling Stones fans, and on city walls in the form of graffiti.

The Rolling Stones logo looks like a mouth from which a teasing and provocative tongue pops out. This logo was invented by designer John Pasha, and the first logo sketch was made in 1970.

So, turn on your favorite Rolling Stones album as a background and start drawing the tongue and lips.

How to draw The Rolling Stones logo step by step

Step 1: Sketch the upper edge of The Rolling Stones logo

First, sketch out a simple curved line in the form of a large and flowing M. This simple shape will form the top edge of the upper lip. Try to make this line as smooth as possible. The upper edge of the logo should not be too symmetrical.

Step 2: Sketch the lower edge of the upper lip

Now, under the big M from the previous step, draw a small line that also looks like an M, but less curved. These two simple curved lines form the upper lip of the logo. The distance between two lines should increase towards the center and decrease towards the sides.

Step 3: Sketch the teeth under the upper lip

Using a wavy line, draw the teeth under the lower edge of The Rolling Stones logo upper lip. This line creates four rounded teeth, with the two in the center slightly larger than the two on the sides.

Step 4: Draw the tongue of The Rolling Stones logo

Draw the tongue using a long and smooth line using a long and smooth line, like an elongated letter U. After that, sketch a long, smooth, and flowing line in the middle of the tongue. As a reminder, you can always check the proportionality of your drawing by looking at it through a mirror.

Step 5: Draw the logo’s lower lip under the tongue

Now move lower, and draw The Rolling Stones logo’s lower lip, also using two edges – the upper and lower. The lower lip should also widen slightly toward the center, although most of it is hidden under the tongue.

Step 6: Finalize and darken the logo lines

Now it’s time to give the Rolling Stones logo drawing a finished look, and you have several options. First, trace and darken the lines of the design with a darker tone. Then, you can and add a contrasting shadow on the inside of the mouth and the top of the tongue – just paint it black. Or you can color the lips and tongue a bright red.

So, this was a Rolling Stones logo drawing tutorial. If this guide seemed too simple for you, then you can try to draw something more complex. For example, on our site, there is a lesson on how to draw realistic lips.

The Rolling Stones logo is drawn using a slightly different approach than regular parts of the human face. Because of that, this lesson was quite different from our tutorial on how to draw a mouth.

However, it still includes many of the same fundamental skills that we used in the lips drawing lesson – techniques that are often applied when drawing faces, whether realistic, cartoon, or comic-style characters.

After completing the Rolling Stones logo, it’s a good time to do a few additional exercises to strengthen your drawing skills.

First, try redrawing the logo several times and coloring each version in a different way. Then, practice incorporating the logo into a more complex composition – for example, draw a T-shirt and place the logo in the upper left area as a printed design.

In addition, we want to remind you that we have a huge number of drawing lessons in which we show and tell you how to draw different logos.

Share this tutorial with your friends and look forward to new drawing lessons.
