How to Draw Keeko, Step by Step
Keeko is a basket weave made of short parallel lines: a block of horizontal lines, then a block of vertical lines next to it, alternating like a checkerboard.
Step 1 of 3
Draw a small block of four short parallel lines.
Watch it draw stroke by stroke, pause on any step, then try it yourself on paper.
Keeko step by step
Step 1Draw a small block of four short parallel lines.
Step 2Next to it, draw a block of four lines turned the other way.
Step 3Keep alternating the direction block by block until the area is full.
Tips for a neat Keeko
- Count the lines: keeping every block at four lines keeps the weave even.
- Leave a little space between blocks so each one reads clearly.
- No grid needed; let each block line up with its neighbours by eye.
Variations to try
- Use three lines per block for a looser weave.
- Fill every other block's gaps black for a bolder look.
