How to Draw a Great Looking Scarf for Kids and Beginners - Step 1

How to Draw a Scarf Step 01

1. Begin by drawing a curved line. This outlines the inner side of the scarf. Then, draw two additional curved lines that overlap. These lines outline the outside edge of the scarf.

4. From the inner outline of the scarf, draw a long curved line descending downward. Curve the line back upon itself until it passes the inner fold of the scarf on the opposite side. Use several shorter, overlapping curved lines to connect this end of the line with the outline of the scarf. Erase guide lines as necessary. This shape forms the end of the scarf, hanging from where it is tied.

Learn More About The Scarf Drawing

A scarf is a piece of fabric worn around the neck or head. Scarves are an ancient garment, and they aren't just for girls. How so?

A statue of the Assyrian ruler Ashurnasirpal II, dated from the ninth century B.C., shows him wearing a scarf.

In ancient Rome, scarves called focale or sudarim were worn by soldiers to keep their armor from injuring their necks, and to wipe sweat from their faces.

Scarves were also used to identify the rank of ancient Chinese warriors.

Today, when most people think of a scarf, they think of those worn in cold weather and for fashion. Besides fashion, scarves can convey other messages as well.

For example, especially in Britain, university students employ striped scarves of different colors to identify their alma mater.

Soccer fans often wear scarves representing their favorite teams, and may form a "scarf wall" - a veritable wall of the team's colors - by lifting their scarves above their heads in the stands.

Would you like to draw a lovely scarf? This easy, step-by-step drawing tutorial is here to show you how. All you will need is a pencil, a sheet of paper, and an eraser. You may also wish to color your finished drawing.
