How to Draw a Soccer Jersey (Easy Step by Step)
A soccer jersey is a great first clothing drawing because it is built from a few simple shapes: a box for the body, two short sleeves, and a V for the collar. The big number on the front makes it feel like your very own team shirt. You can pick any number you like once you know how to draw the zero.

Step 1: Neck and sleeves
Draw a gentle curve for the neck at the top. From each end, draw a long slanted line down and outward for the shoulders, then curve each one into a short sleeve that ends in a point.
Step 2: The jersey body
Start under each sleeve and draw a line going down, leaning slightly outward. Join the two lines at the bottom with a gently curved line, like a soft rectangle.
Step 3: The V collar
Starting at the left and right ends of the neck, draw two curved lines that meet in a point in the middle of the chest. This makes a big letter V.
Step 4: Inside the collar
Draw a smaller V inside the big one, following the same shape. Then add a curved line across the top to connect the two sides of the collar.
Step 5: Sleeve stripes
On each sleeve, draw one slanted line near the end of the sleeve, running along the cuff. This leaves a stripe around each cuff.
Step 6: The big number
In the middle of the jersey, draw a tall oval for a number zero. Draw a smaller oval inside it so the zero looks thick and bold.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a soccer jersey
- Draw the two sleeves at the same height so the jersey looks even. Look at where the first sleeve ends and match the second one to it.
- The V collar is the trickiest part. Mark a dot in the middle of the chest first, then curve both lines down to meet at that dot.
- Make the number a tall oval, not a circle. Draw the inside oval a little smaller and leave a thick ring between the two.
