Drawing Zebra with pencil for children. How to draw step by step

The zebra is a beautiful and unusual animal. In appearance, it is very similar to a horse and has a motley coloring in the form of black and white stripes. Drawing a picture of a zebra for children is not difficult.

How to draw a cute zebra with a pencil

To draw a zebra with a pencil, you will need a clean sheet of paper, an eraser and a simple pencil.

The drawing is done in several stages:

• First, you need to make a contour blank of the drawing, which consists of circles and auxiliary lines. Contour lines should be drawn without pressing hard on the pencil, so that they can be easily erased with an eraser (when the drawing is ready).

• You need to start drawing with the outline of the head on the left side of the sheet. To do this, you need to draw a circle with a diameter of 2 cm (a blank for the top of the head), and a little to the left and below it, another circle with a diameter of 1 cm (a blank for the muzzle).
• Then you need to connect these circles with lines. The connection at the top is made with a convex line, and at the bottom the line should be even.
• Next you need to draw the base of the body.

To do this, draw a circle with a diameter of 3 cm (zebra's chest) to the right and slightly below the head blank, then draw an oval (body blank) in a horizontal position slightly to the right of it, twice as wide but the same height as the previous circle. The oval should slightly intersect this circle.

• Then, to the right and slightly above the oval, you need to draw another circle with a diameter of 4 cm, which should slightly intersect the oval in its right part.
• Next, you need to connect the head and chest of the zebra with two lines (the upper line should be slightly convex), and along the upper part of the body blank, draw a contour line with two convexities tangent to its circles and oval.
• Draw the zebra's mouth and nostrils inside the small circle of the face shape.
• Then, in the second circle, draw an eye on top, and on its right side, draw a cheekbone in the form of a vertical arc.
• Next you need to draw the zebra's legs.

To draw the front leg, you must first draw its centerline, for which you need to draw a vertical line 2 cm long from the bottom of the left circumference of the body, then draw a small circle (the leg joint), and then draw the next vertical line of the same length.

• After that, you should draw the hoof, and then draw two final lines of the front leg to the left and right of the center line of the leg.
• To draw the back leg, you must first draw its centerline, for which you need to draw a line down (2 cm) from the bottom of the right circumference of the body, directed slightly to the right at an angle of 45°.

Then draw the joint in the form of a small oval tilted to the left, and then draw the continuation of the axial line of the leg and the Hoof. After that, to the left and right of the axial line, you need to draw two final lines of the back leg.

• Draw a line of the forehead from the bridge of the nose upwards, then draw a vertical ear in the form of a petal.
• Next, from the ear you need to draw a line of the upper part of the neck, which should connect to the body at the top of the oval.
• Then you need to draw the zebra's mane as a line parallel to the neck contour at a distance of 1 cm from its upper part. It should start at the base of the ears and end at the upper part of the body in the oval area.
• Then you need to draw the second pair of legs, which are drawn with parallel lines to the zebra's existing legs.

• On the right side of the zebra's thigh, you need to draw a tail in the form of a tassel.
• To complete the drawing, you need to draw stripes on the zebra's body. To do this, draw vertical curved lines inside the zebra and then color them with a pencil. The lines inside the zebra's legs are drawn with horizontal lines.

Cartoonish

Zebra is a drawing for children that can be drawn not only with pencils. It is better to draw a cartoon zebra with felt-tip pens. This way it turns out quite bright and cheerful. Such an animal can also be drawn with colored pencils.

The drawing process consists of the following stages:

• Using a black marker, draw the zebra's body in the center of the sheet in the form of a large oval in a horizontal position. Then, to the left and above the body, draw the head in the form of an oval (3 times smaller than the body). It should be drawn slightly at an angle.

Next, draw the neck using two lines connecting the head and body. The distance between these lines should be slightly less than the width of the head.

• Draw the legs of the zebra using vertical lines drawn from the bottom of the body downwards. Two legs should be located on the left side, and the other two on the right side of the body.

At the bottom of each leg, you need to draw a hoof in the form of black squares with rounded corners. The hooves should be painted black. Then you need to draw a tail in the form of half an oval, coming from the right side of the body and directed with the straight part of the oval downwards.

• Draw 2 petal-shaped ears on the left and right sides of the zebra's upper face. Then draw the mane, for which draw a small vertical line upwards from the center of the upper part of the head, and then draw a semi-oval line parallel to the zebra's neck from the top of this line.

This line should connect to the upper part of the body a little to the left of its middle. Next, you need to draw the eyes in the form of two thick dots inside the muzzle just below the level of the ears, and then at the bottom of the muzzle draw a smiling mouth in the form of a semi-oval and above it two nostrils in the form of two small dots.

• Draw black vertical stripes inside the mane, body and tail. Draw horizontal stripes inside the legs. Then you need to color the zebra a little with a simple pencil or gray chalk to make it look more realistic.

• Use a green marker to draw the ground under the zebra and the grass. Then add some variety by drawing additional bushes of dark green grass. Next, draw the savannah against the background of the zebra.

To do this, use a yellow marker to draw horizontal zigzag lines at the level of the zebra's legs, without allowing these lines to fall on the legs. Parallel to the yellow lines, right under them, you need to draw light green lines, which will make the background more varied.

• In the upper right part of the sheet, draw a round yellow sun, color it the same color and draw sun rays in the form of stripes coming from the sun. Orange can be used as an additional color for coloring the sun.

From Madagascar

Zebra is a drawing for children that can cheer them up and bring them a lot of joy. The zebra from the cartoon “Madagascar” has a funny appearance, which is achieved thanks to its cheerful smile and big white teeth.

To draw this zebra you need to follow these steps:

• In the upper left part of the sheet, draw the outline of the head in the form of a triangle with rounded corners and slightly tilted to the left. Then, from the center of the crown of the head, draw two ears in the form of elongated diamonds directed to the sides.
• In the lower left part of the head outline, you need to draw two nostrils in the form of small vertical semi-ovals. Under the nostrils, you need to draw an open and smiling mouth.

To do this, you need to place the pencil lead at the bottom of the left nostril and move it from left to right and slightly up to the center of the head contour (this will be the upper lip).

Then change the direction of the pencil downwards, and having drawn the lower jaw in the form of a rounded rectangle, finish the movement of the pencil in the center of the upper lip. Then under the lower jaw, draw the lower lip, drawing a line parallel to the jaw and connecting with it on the left and right.

Next, you need to draw the teeth in the form of a sequence of squares under the upper and above the lower lips.

• In the upper part of the head outline, draw two eyes in the form of two circles, in the lower right part of which you need to draw two black round pupils. Then around the eyes you should draw black stripes parallel to the head outline, and then a few more additional stripes from the nostrils to the right part of the head outline.
• From the bottom of the head outline, draw a vertical long neck using two lines. The first line should start to the right of the lower jaw, and the right line - from the right corner of the bottom of the head outline.

Then you need to draw the body in the form of a large horizontal oval, with its upper part flattened downwards, and its right part slightly larger than its left part. The neck should smoothly connect to the body.

• Draw the axial contour of the front leg in the form of several, successively connected segments of the same length. The first segment starts in the center of the beginning of the body and is directed vertically downwards. It should end outside the body at the bottom. The second segment is directed horizontally to the left.

The next segment is directed to the left and slightly downwards, and the last one is directed vertically downwards. At the end of the last segment, it is necessary to draw a hoof in the form of a triangle. To the left and right of the axial contour of the leg, it is necessary to draw lines parallel to its segments, which will form the general contour of the leg.

The distance between the lines of the first segment should be 3 times greater than the distance between the lines of the other segments of the axial contour of the leg. This will result in a raised front leg of the zebra.

Next, under the elbow of this leg, you need to draw the second front leg in the form of two vertical lines directed downwards. The distance between these lines should be the same as the distance between the lines of the first leg. Next, at the end of the second leg, you should draw a hoof in the form of a horizontal diamond.

• Draw the axial contour of the back leg in the form of several, successively connected segments. The first segment starts in the center of the right side of the body and is directed to the left and down at an angle of 45°. The second segment is directed down and slightly to the right. The last segment is directed down and slightly to the left.

At the end of the last segment, you need to draw a hoof in the form of a small horizontal rhombus. To the left and right of the axial contour of the leg, you need to draw lines parallel to its segments, which will form the general contour of the leg.

Around the first segment, you need to draw an oval thigh, 3 times wider than the width of the upper part of the front leg. Next, to the right of the back leg, you need to draw another back leg. It is drawn parallel to the previous one in a similar way.

• Draw the mane in the form of expanding rectangles directed perpendicular to the right line of the zebra's neck contour. The dimensions of the rectangles should be slightly larger than the dimensions of the ears, and the distance between them should correspond to the width of these rectangles.

Next, you need to draw a curvy tail and a tassel-shaped tip of the tail.

• Draw black stripes inside the zebra's body and legs. Along the neck and on the legs, the stripes should be horizontal, and inside the body, vertical. On the tail, the stripes should be perpendicular to the tail line.
• Trace the outline of the zebra with a thin pencil, and color the stripes on the body, lips, hooves and the tip of the tail with a black pencil. Then you need to draw the tongue inside the mouth and color it red. The ears can be colored orange, and their tips - black.

The zebra from Madagascar is one of the best drawings that can be offered to children in drawing lessons.

Zebra head

Zebra is a drawing for children that is very interesting to draw.

To draw a zebra's head, you need to follow these steps:

• Draw a circle in the center of the sheet, and inside the circle draw a horizontal oval line connecting the center of the left and the center of the right part of the circle.

Then you need to draw a straight line from the right side of the circle down to the right at an angle of 45°, and parallel to this line, to the right and left of it, draw two more lines that will form the outline of the zebra's neck.

• Draw the zebra's face as an elongated trapezoid, the larger base of which is drawn inside the circle between the oval line and the bottom point of the circle, and the smaller base is drawn to the left and below the circle at some distance from it.
• Draw an eye in the center of the oval line inside the circle. Then draw a nostril at the bottom of the muzzle, and below it, a mouth line.

Next, at the top of the circle, you need to draw two ears in the form of vertical diamonds pointing upwards. Then, starting from the center of the top of the circle, you need to draw the mane using a curved line parallel to the top line of the neck contour.

• Outline the zebra's head, ears, mane and neck with clear lines. Then erase all auxiliary lines with an eraser.

Next, you need to draw stripes inside the neck, mane, and head. The stripes inside the neck and mane should match and be perpendicular to their contour lines. The stripes inside the head should be parallel to the long part of its muzzle.

• Color the zebra stripes with a black pencil. The initial part of the mane near the ears should be completely colored black. The area of ​​the muzzle around the nostrils can also be colored black.

Cool zebra

Zebra is a drawing for children that can be drawn in a matter of minutes. This drawing can be offered to preschool children.

A cool zebra is drawn with a pencil easily and quickly in several stages:

• Draw 2 ears in the form of petals that are not drawn at the bottom and located at a small distance from each other.
• Starting from the base of the ears, to the left and down, draw an elongated semi-oval muzzle in the form of a semi-oval, slightly narrowing at the end. At the end of the muzzle, color a small part of it with a pencil.
• Under the ears, in the center of the muzzle, draw the eyes in the form of two dots. Then, using two lines, you need to draw the neck. The first line should start in the center of the lower part of the muzzle, and the second line - from the base of the right ear of the zebra.
• Draw an elongated body as two curved horizontal lines from the bottom of the neck. Then draw the two front legs as vertical columns down, drawn from the base of the left side of the body.

• On the right side of the body, draw its rounded continuation (the zebra's thigh), and then draw two hind legs tapering towards the bottom.
• Draw square hooves at the tips of the legs. Then draw a curved, zig-zag tail pointing horizontally to the right of the hip.
• Between the ears and further along the neck, draw a hedgehog-like mane sticking out.
• Inside the body, from its upper contour line, draw vertical stripes in the form of hanging icicles towards the lower part of the body contour, but not reaching it.
• Draw horizontal stripes inside the zebra's legs.
• Color the mane, stripes on the body and legs, and the tail black.

Zebra has an unusual coloring. For children, drawing this animal is a good activity during their free time.
