Instructions
Drawing a Nintendo Switch is easier than it looks – all you need are some basic art supplies, a little know-how, and a vivid imagination. Let’s dive right in!
Gather Materials
Before you get started, collect the supplies you’ll need. You’ll need:
- Pencil
- Eraser
- Paper
- Pen
- Markers
- Colored pencils
While you can use a regular pencil for your drawing, a mechanical pencil or graphite pencil works best for a slim, consistent line. You can also skip the paper if you want to just draw the Switch on your canvas or tablet.
Bring Your Design to Life
Start by sketching out the basic shape of the Switch and its controller on your paper. Make sure the overall shape comes out roughly the same size you’d expect it to be when you’re holding it in your hand.
Next, begin to draw in the details of your design. Don’t be afraid to draw some of your favorite games, characters, and items throughout the illustration to make it uniquely yours. This is your chance to get creative and have some fun.
Draw in the buttons, screen, and other details – if you need a refresher on the design of the Switch, you can always refer to photographs. Once you’ve got the details in place, go back and clean up any lines and erase any errant marks you may have made.
Think About Color and Texture
Now for the fun part – adding color and texture to your design. Grab your paints, markers, or colored pencils and start adding color. Just like in the sketch, you can go wild with textures and designs to give your Switch your own personal touch.
If you’re feeling a little anxious about the exact hue of each color, feel free to hop on Google and look up some inspiration photos, or just go with your instincts on what looks best. There’s really no wrong way to do this, so be creative and have fun.
Shine It Up
Once you’re all done drawing, painting, and shading, the last step is to add a little bit of extra polish to your design. Glitter is great for adding a bit of extra sparkle, and metallic details can really enhance the look.
Take your time to make sure your design looks as good as possible – there’s nothing that gives a design an amateur look more than a few errant marks or sloppy lines. Spend a bit of extra time on perfecting the design, and it will pay off in the end.
Conclusion
Drawing a Nintendo Switch is an enjoyable, creative way to spend an afternoon. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily create a beautiful, one-of-a-kind artwork that you can hang on your wall or give as a gift. So get out your supplies, get creative, and have fun bringing your Switch design to life!
