Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing an Easy Cartoon Zebra
How to Draw a Great Looking Easy Cartoon Zebra for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin the cartoon zebra outline with a curved line. Double the line back upon itself to form the zebra's head. Within this irregular shape, draw an oval inside an oval. Shade the smaller oval. This is the zebra's eye. Shade a curved teardrop shape above the eye to indicate the eyebrow.

2. Use curved lines, doubled back on themselves, to draw the zebra's triangular ears. Band one ear with a straight line, indicating a stripe. Between the ears, enclose a rectangle shape to indicate the mane. Draw a curved line around the zebra's nose, and another for its smiling mouth. Place a short curved line at the corner of the mouth and shade two small ovals for the nostrils.

Have you ever wondered - are zebras black with white stripes or white with black stripes?
The classic answer was that they are white with black stripes, because the stripes can be seen to end in white on some zebras' bellies and legs. But scientists say that the opposite is true - zebras have black skin, and the white fur has no pigment, making black the "default" color. So, zebras are black with white stripes!
