How to Draw a Native American Teepee

How to Draw a Native American Teepee-

The Teepee is a tent used by Native Americans - sometimes adorned with geometric patterns. A Teepee has to have these elements-
ten to twenty Teepee poles; a Teepee cover with bison skins; an inner Teepee skin lining; and a canvas or skin door. The teepee is a semicirclar tent with a door and smoke flaps.

Step 1 -

I drew this simple sketch beginning with a cone shape and an oval for the door. A diamond shape for the smoke flap above and a few tips of teepee poles jutting out on top.

Step 2 - Then I painted in the Native American teepee made of hide with a brown shade - paler on the right where the sun catches its light,and darker on the left for the shadow.

Step 3 -

The geometric design comes last. A Native American border created with black and white and trimmed with red.

Step 4 - Finally I airbrushed the background with green grass and purple hills.
