How To Draw A Teepee

Native American Indians used to live in teepees (also known as a tipi or tepee). A tipi is a conical tent traditionally made of animal skins or birch bark and are stereotypically associated with Native Americans. The term "wigwam" (a domed structure) is sometimes incorrectly used to refer to a tipi. Do you want to learn how to draw one of these teepees (tipis)? I have put together a step-by-step tutorial that will help you figure out how to draw tipis by using simple shapes to build up their form. This is an easy tutorial that kids, teens, and adults will enjoy. Even some younger children might be able to draw a teepee if you stand by to help with the instructions. Enjoy!
