Step 6: Draw a series of curved lines that connect the major shapes to form the body and add a line on the left side as a guide for the zebra's tail.

That's it for the initial sketch! From this point on, press harder with your pencil to get a more defined sketch.

Step 7: Draw the zebra's eye inside the circle near the top of the muzzle. The shape of the zebra's eye is similar to a less-than sign (<) with a curved line on the right side for the zebra's actual eyeball. Shade in the inside of the eye except for a tiny circle to represent glare. Darken the edges of the eye a bit and draw a few lines surrounding it for extra detail.

Step 8: Draw the zebra's nose at the tip of the muzzle. The nose consists of an oval that's shaded in and a line to the left of it for structure.

Step 9: Draw the rest of the zebra's muzzle by using the U-shaped curve as a guide. Darken the arc at the bottom and draw a line under the zebra's nose for its mouth.
