How to Draw Stripes

Step 1.


Start off by sketching out three striped patterns like you see here. These are zebra style stripes, and they are a very popular pattern for all sorts of stuff like purses, clothes, and even jewelry.

Step 2.


You will then draw three more of the same stripes but this time draw them in the empty spaces between the three that you drew in step one. The lining should be thick, and very bold, and they should all have a wavy texture to them.

Step 3.


Thicken the lining and color in the stripes any shade you like. There are no guidelines to erase because the lining you drew in step one is actually the stripes themselves.

Step 4.


Here are the zebra stripes when you are all done. See how fun and east this whole lesson was? Now you have learned how to draw a pattern in the form of stripes.
