How to Draw a Banner

Outline the banner with an ink pen for a crisp finish.

If you're a cartoonist, scrapbooker or just interested in drawing, then you may want to learn how to draw a banner. Banners can be used for all types of events from party scenes, as decorative title pages or for a ribbon holding a bouquet.

Instructions

1. Draw two parallel curved lines. The length of the lines will determine how long the banner will be.

2. Connect both ends of the parallel lines with a vertical line.

3. Draw a short vertical line extending up from the top line of the banner, starting just inside either corner.

4. Connect the corners of the banner to the top of the short vertical line with a diagonal line.

5. Draw a quarter circle outward from halfway up the edges of the banner. From the top of the short vertical lines draw a curved line parallel to the quarter circles.

6. Connect the ends of the curved lines with a sideways V-shape. Round all of the corners.

Tips & Warnings

• Shade the banner either with a pencil or colored pencils to add dimension.
