Drawing a Baltimore Ravens Helmet: A How-To for the Artistically Challenged
So, you want to draw a Baltimore Ravens helmet, huh? Well, first off, let's get one thing straight: you're probably not Picasso. But don't worry, neither am I. In fact, I'm pretty sure my stick figures would be laughed at by a kindergartener. But that's not stopping us from trying to draw a football helmet, is it?

| How To Draw A Baltimore Ravens Helmet |
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Before we dive into the artistic abyss, let's make sure you have the necessary tools. You'll need:
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.
- A pencil: Preferably one that doesn't write in purple or pink.
- Paper: Something that won't crumble when you look at it funny.
- An eraser: For those inevitable mistakes that will make you question your life choices.
- A reference picture: Because let's be honest, trying to draw this thing from memory is like trying to remember your dreams after eating a spicy burrito.
Step 2: Start with a Basic Shape
Okay, here's where things get tricky (or not, depending on your artistic abilities). Start by drawing a basic oval. This will be the main body of the helmet. Don't worry if it looks more like a potato than a football helmet. We'll fix that later.
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.
Step 3: Add the Facemask
Now, let's give our helmet a face. Or, more accurately, a facemask. Draw two curved lines on the bottom of the oval for the jawline. Then, add a bunch of vertical lines for the bars. If you're feeling fancy, you can add some diagonal lines for extra detail. But remember, less is more when it comes to our artistic talents.
QuickTip: Reread for hidden meaning.

Step 4: The Ravens Logo (Or Something Like It)
This is where things get really interesting (or terrifying, depending on your artistic abilities). The Ravens logo is kind of complicated, so let's simplify it. Draw a big, bold letter "R" on the front of the helmet. If you can manage to make it look even remotely like the actual logo, consider yourself a Picasso. If not, just pretend it's a really stylish R.
QuickTip: Focus on one paragraph at a time.
Step 5: Coloring (Optional)
If you're feeling adventurous, you can color your masterpiece. The Ravens helmet is mostly purple with a black facemask. But hey, feel free to experiment with different colors. Maybe a pink helmet with a green facemask? The possibilities are endless (and horrifying).
And there you have it! A Baltimore Ravens helmet drawn by someone who probably shouldn't be allowed near art supplies. Remember, the most important thing is to have fun. And if it looks terrible, well, at least you tried.
How To...
- How to draw a straight line: Use a ruler. Or, if you're feeling rebellious, just wing it.
- How to avoid smudging: Let the ink dry completely before touching it. Or, you know, just be careful.
- How to erase mistakes: Gently rub the eraser over the mistake. Or, if it's a really big mistake, just start over.
- How to add shading: Use a blending stump or your fingers to create a gradual transition between light and dark areas. Or, if you're lazy, just scribble randomly.
- How to not give up: Keep practicing! Or, if all else fails, just buy a Ravens helmet and trace it.
