How to Draw a Treble Clef

1. Begin the treble clef outline by drawing a spiral-shaped line.

2. Draw another curved line roughly parallel to the first. Allow it to meet the inside of the spiral at a sharp point.

Notice how it diverges and then comes closer - but does not connect to - the bottom of the shape.

3. Extend the original spiral line upward. Let it bend over the spiral shape before curving back toward its original position.

4. Extend the second line, allowing it to follow roughly parallel to the first. Notice how it diverges and then gets closer to its counterpart.

5. Extend the uppermost line and fold it back on itself until it intersects the second line.

6. Extend the second line and double it back on itself until it intersects itself. It should be roughly parallel to the outer line.

7. Draw a long curved line behind the existing hap. It should be an extension of the doubled-over line at the top of the treble clef.

It should be nearly straight as it passes behind the spiral shape, then it should bend to the left.

8. Draw another long curved line parallel to the one drawn in the last step. This line, too, should appear to be a continuation of the upper portion of the treble clef.

9. Extend the lower line of the treble clef in a spiral shape until it meets the other line, completely enclosing the shape.

Your treble clef outline is now complete. Color your drawing.

On sheet music, treble clefs are usually printed in black ink. We've colored ours gold. You can get creative and use whatever colors complement your project.
