Drawing a simple guitar is easy and can be done by anyone, even if they aren’t a professional artist. Anyone can have a go at sketching and crafting a sensational instrument. All it takes is a pencil, eraser, ruler, and paper and you’re ready to start turning your vision into reality.
If you’ve got basic drawing skills, a little patience, and a few tools, you’ll be able to make a memorable guitar that your friends and family will admire. Let’s get started by gathering the materials you’ll need…
Gather the Materials
The first step of creating your beautiful guitar is to prepare everything you need. Gather the following:
- Pencil
- Eraser
- Ruler
- Pen
- Paper
- Tape
- Glue
Once you have the supplies handy, you can begin crafting!
Draw The Neck & Body
The neck of your guitar will be the most important part for the design, as it’s where your fingers will go when playing chords and riffs. Start by using your ruler to plot a straight line from the bottom point of your paper all the way to the top. After that, draw the outline of the body of the guitar according to your design. Get creative and use your imagination; it doesn’t have to look like a traditional guitar. It’s your own creation, so make it unique! Make sure to leave enough room for the strings and frets.
Draw The Head & Pegs
The head of your guitar will be the top part of the neck, and you’ll be placing the tuning knobs and pegs on it. First, you’ll want to sketch the boxy outline to put the tuning knobs on. After that, draw the pegs and tuners in the outline and make sure to leave enough room for the strings.
Draw The Strings & Frets
Go ahead and draw in the strings that connect the head of your guitar to the bottom of the body. When drawing the strings, make sure they are evenly spaced apart and are the same width. After that, carefully draw the frets along the neck of the guitar. This is where you’ll put your fingers when playing it. Frets will give your guitar an amazing sound and make it easier to play.
Adding the Finishing Touches
As the final step, you’ll need to add details to your guitar so it looks complete. Start by coloring the strings, head and neck of the guitar, and then add small details such as screws, buttons and dots. You can even write the make and model of your guitar on the head if you want. Once you’ve finished your masterpiece, use the glue and tape to secure it to a sheet of paper and make sure it’s visible.
You have now crafted a legendary guitar without professional help. This classic instrument can be used for simple jam sessions, or as an elegant art piece for your room. Keep in mind your guitar can be modified as much as you want; it’s your creation! Just keep practicing and you won’t be disappointed.
