Calling all would-be rockstars! Does the thought of drawing a guitar seem daunting? Despite the complex curves and shape of a guitar, anyone can learn how to draw a basic design relatively quickly and easily. All that’s required is a little patience, practice, and a desire to rock with the best of them!
First, pull out a blank sheet of paper, a pencil, and an eraser. Next, envision the basic shape of a guitar in your head. As you picture the look of a guitar, begin with the neck. Draw a slightly curved line extending from the top of the paper to the bottom. From the bottom of the line, arch a slightly curved line and connect it to the first line.
For the body of the guitar, draw an outline of the shape. It should look something like a peanut but with a longer shape. When drawing the body, these are the important details to remember: The curved line should be wide and then begin to taper off at the bottom. Finally, add a smaller, curved line to the top, which serves as the sound hole.
Once the main components of the guitar have been sketched, add a few extra details. Along the neck of the guitar, draw the strings by creating a series of small, even lines. To create the strings, start where the neck meets the body and draw the lines in a descending order. Now, add the frets by creating a series of small, evenly sized lines in parallel with the strings.
To finish the perfect guitar, draw the tuning heads, which are the knobs that are located on the side of the neck. Create the tuning heads by drawing several circles whose radius decreases as they get farther from the body. Finally, use the eraser to clean up any mistakes or faint lines that can’t be seen as well.
Now, turn your awesome sketched guitar into a masterpiece by adding highlights, shadows and colors. For example, coloring the body of the guitar with a few different colors will give it a realistic look that stands out! With a little bit of concentration and flair, anyone can draw a guitar with ease.
Once your basic guitar is finished, it’s time to focus on more detailed design elements. There are a variety of beautiful details that can be added to the guitar such as pick guards, sound holes, knobs, fret inlays, straps, and even strings! So be creative and don’t be afraid to add whatever your imagination desires!
