Draw an Acoustic Guitar
Ever wanted to draw or design your own guitars? Follow these easy steps to and learn how to draw the perfect guitar. Note: Follow the red lines for each step.
Steps
- Start off by drawing a horizontal egg shape for the body of your guitar.
- Draw a long rectangle at the end of the egg shape for the fret board.
- At the start of the rectangle, inside the egg-shape, draw a circle.
- Draw a small rectangle at the end of the fret board.
- Now add the thickness of the body. This thickness will be determined by the shape you want the guitar. This tutorial will use the basic shape.
- Add the details like the strings, the fret divisions, and the tuning knobs.
- Ink the drawing and erase the sketch.
- Color the drawing and you are done!
Alternate Method
- Draw two ovals. The one on the left should be larger than the one on the right, like a lopsided snowman.
- Add two rectangles and one line to connect all the shapes. The upper rectangle will serve as the neck of the guitar, and the line is the beginning of a string.
- Connect the ovals by adding two lines. Add small rectangles to give the guitar a boxier, more realistic shape.
- Draw a small circle inside of the smaller upper oval. Add semicircles on the sides and tighten up your lines to make your guitar even more real-looking
- Draw two wavy lines to indicate the shape of the guitar. (At this point you should really begin to see it start looking like a musical instrument; if it doesn't, go back and make sure you haven't distorted anything.) Erase excess lines as seen.
- Draw six lines to render the strings of the guitar. Draw other details like the tuning pegs and frets on the neck.
- Outline and color the drawing. Use shades of brown, unless your guitar is unusually colorful. Experiment with different shading and patterns to find out what looks the best.
Tips
- Don't be afraid to experiment on the shape of the body and the end of the fret board.
- Remove the black from several parts, like the string and the frets so that they don't blend in too much.
