QuestionHow would I make a cage for the zebra in the drawing?Community AnswerDraw two identical parallelograms, one above the zebra, and one below the zebra, then draw straight lines to connect each point of the top shape to the bottom shape. This will make a cube. Then, add straight lines across the cube. Those lines will be the bars.

Article Summary
X
To draw a zebra, start by drawing an oval with a circle connected to the bottom of it for the head. Then, add two smaller ovals at the top for ears. Next, draw a circle to the right of the head, with curving lines connecting the head and rear. Once you’ve sketched the body, draw some curving lines for a mane and tail. Use a series of long ovals to draw in the legs and add hooves at the bottom of them. Finally, add in the zebra’s stripes all over its body and a shaded oval on the head to make an eye. For tips on how to use shading to make your zebra more realistic, read on!
