We're drawing a plains zebra, not a plains zebra.

That would just be a horse.

A plain zebra is a zebra that lives on the African plains.

Let's draw.

We will start with the eyes.

A letter O shape.

Next to that.

A backwards letter C. Our pupils one.

And two.

Now for the snout and nose.

Starting from the base of the eye.

Come down.

Then add an upside down triangular shape.

It looks like this.

Good.

Insid we're going to draw two ovals.

One and two.

We now want to fill in all around that.

Take your time filling nice and even.

Good.

Work our way up.

A line like so.

Down in.

Down and up.

Next is the interior.

Or inside of the mouth.

One line down.

Two lines down.

Curve line for the tongue and then fill in above.

We're going to bring this line up and then add the ear around round point in and back out.

Point in and back.

Top of the head.

We come up over and down.

All right.

A little floof of hair on top of the head.

Looks like this.

Up, down up down.

Up, down up, down.

And connect.

A little smaller version of that just right here.

And then we want to color in around that.

The other ear just sort of snakes up right back here.

For the chest.

Down and in.

Now for the back side.

We draw the back around and down.

Our legs.

We'll start with the front legs.

First down.

Scribble, scribble.

And up.

Over, down.

Scribble, scribble and up.

Down.

Scribble and then down.

Scribble.

And then.

Down.

Over and up.

Down and n. Down.

Over and up.

Down.

And then we're then going to fill those in with just a little bit of line shading.

Just like so.

On the back of the neck we've got a little bit of fur here.

And then we want to color that again.

But line shading just quick lines just like that.

Now for the eyebrows.

And the tail.

Out.

Down and up.

Scribble scribble scribble.

And in.

Now for the striped pattern.

Out and in.

Out and in.

I'm going to alternate it out and n out and n up.

And n now we want to color and each of those stripes.

Every zebras pattern is unique.

A pattern is a repeated decorative design, but in nature it can provide a very practical purpose and act as camouflage.

Nice thing about coloring in a zebra.

You don't need a lot of crayons, just black and white.

Now we're going to color in this tail.

Good.

What's black and white and red all over.

A zebra with sunburn.

Now we're going to add setting.

Setting is where or when a story takes place.

Our story takes place on the African plains.

We're going to add three different elements.

We're going to start with the foreground.

The foreground is everything in front of our character.

We're going to add some tall grass.

Just up and down.

Up and down.

Let's add a little over here to.

Good.

Next is the middle ground.

This is everything that is on the same plane as our character.

Just a little line going across.

All the way to the edge behind.

Or put.

Now, off in the distance is the background.

Might see some tall hills in the background.

Way off in the distance.

And maybe some clouds up in the sky.

Remember, foreground is everything in front.

Middle ground is everything.

Where our character is standing and background is everything behind it.

We're all done.

Be sure to sign your name.

Take pride in your work.

And that's how to draw a zebra.
