Many aspiring artists get confused about these stripes. This is a little more complicated than it sounds because the shape and position of these stripes are distorted depending on the angle. We will try to solve this problem step by step.

To begin with, we sketch out across that is formed by two curved lines. The intersection of these lines is located much lower than the approximate center of the ball and much to the right of the same point relative to us.

Step 3

Another simple step at first glance. We will now draw a pair of curved stripes that intersect one of the lines from the previous step at right angles. Note that the two new lines are not parallel or symmetrical. Try to copy them as accurately as possible from our sample, paying attention to the distance between the lines and the edges of the ball.

Step 4

Check all the lines in your drawing. Pay special attention to the lines from the previous step. If you don’t see any distortion and your sketch is excellent, you can remove the extra lines and move on to working with colors.

Step 5
