Draw a Banner

A banner is a flag bearing a symbol, logo, slogan or other message. This tutorial will show you how to draw a banner in six simple steps.

Steps

  1. Draw a rectangle. It should look sort of like a doormat, with the front corners slightly bigger/more slanted than those in the back.
  2. Add two smaller rectangles over the initial rectangle's front edges. These should be smaller but more vertically lengthy than the first rectangle, as seen here.
  3. Under the rectangles from step 2, draw miniature upside-down triangles. These will serve as the first curves of your banner.
  4. Outline the shape of the banner. Draw the curves of the banner over the sketched polygons.
  5. Line the drawing with black ink. Try to make a modular line, which passes from a thin to a thick line and vice versa. This will make your drawing look better and more professional.
    • Add text, a symbol, or pictures to the banner.
  6. Color it! Erase the pencil and add in color.

Tips

  • If you want to use markers/watercolors to color your drawing, use paper that is relatively thick and line over your pencil more darkly before doing so.
  • Draw lightly in pencil so that you can easily rub out mistakes.
