How to Draw A Scarf
Step 1
We will wrap the scarf we create in this scarf design guide around the wearer’s neck. In this first step, we will start with the outline of the scarf. For the shawl, we use many curved lines that come together to give the impression that the fabric is wrapping itself around itself.
Let’s draw three of these curved lines for each side of the scarf. The left ones are slightly longer and larger than the right ones, as shown in our reference image.
Step 2
In this second part of your scarf design, we’ll add more wrinkles to the scarf. The placement of the lines can get tricky for the next few steps, so do it slowly and follow the reference image very closely.
We’ll add more curved lines on both sides of the scarf, going beyond and connecting to the lines drawn in the previous step. Assuming you follow the instruction images, there should be a large blank at the top of the scarf and a smaller blank at the bottom. But don’t worry. We will fill these gaps very soon in the next steps!
Step 3
We mentioned filling in the scarf blanks in the previous step of this tutorial on how to draw a scarf. We’ll keep that promise while attracting some elements in both gaps. We added more curved lines for the top of the scarf; some united to form a roughly oval shape.
Then, we’ll draw slightly curved lines for the space below to create two ends of the scarf that fall. We finish them by adding jagged lines at the end to make them look hairier.
Step 4
It’s almost time to add some decorative detail to your scarf design, but before we do that, we have one more end of the scarf for you to design.
To do this, we’ll add slightly curved lines to create an even thicker section hanging down than the one you drew earlier. Then you are ready to decorate your patterned scarf before the final step!
Step 5
To conclude this tutorial on how to draw a scarf, let’s draw some pattern details for it. In our reference image, we chose a stripe design for the scarf.
You might think drawing stripes should be easy, but things can get a bit more complicated since the fabric folds in on itself. It is another step where you may want to refer strictly to the reference image! As you draw the lines for the stripes, try to remember how they would look relative to the flow of the fabric.
This pattern is also just one of the many ways you can decorate this scarf! You can also create your design template to add a twist to this design. You can opt for some polka dots, draw some little snowflakes, or cover it with balls for some ideas.
Step 6
Now it’s time for the final step of this scarf design! This way, you can have fun adding cool colors to your design. In our reference image, we chose some red, green, and yellow tones for the scarf. These colors almost give it a plaid feel! However, these are just a few of the many colors you can use in your design.
Scarves can come in any color you can think of. Now it’s your turn to show us which amazing colors you think will go best with your scarf. We can’t wait to see what colors, art mediums, and tools you use to complete your wonderful scarf design!
