Let's make some music! You can decorate for a party or catch up on your homework for band class with the help of these easy musical instrument drawing tutorials.
What is your favorite type of music? What instruments are used to play it?
Much of the music you hear on the radio is made using guitars. You can rock out with an acoustic guitar, an electric guitar, drums, and a microphone.
There are also lots of instruments used to make classical music - flutes, clarinets, violins, and pianos.
Maybe you want to explore a specific musical genre. You can get into jazz with a saxophone drawing or venture to the beaches of Hawaii with a ukulele.
You can use a pen, pencil, or marker to draw the musical instruments. Sometimes a pencil is best, as you may need to erase guide lines along the way.
You can also color your finished drawings. Use classic colors - such as silver for flutes, gold for trumpets and saxophones, black for clarinets, and brown for wooden guitars and violins - or get creative and deck your band in expressive colors!
Here's a challenge for you: can you sketch the instruments in groups according to their types? You can classify them as string, woodwind, brass, and percussion instruments.
14 Easy Musical Instruments Drawing Ideas
Acoustic Guitar
The guitar is an easy instrument to draw. It has a peanut-shaped wooden body, a circular sound hole, and its neck is a narrow rectangle.
Electric Guitar
Did you draw the acoustic guitar above? The electrical guitar looks just a little bit fancier. Put your new skills to work by drawing it, too.
Microphone
Mic check, can you hear me? This corded microphone has a round windscreen and a long, narrow trapezoid for its handle. Turn it on using the rectangular buttons.
Violin
Can you see similarities between the violin and the guitars above? All are string instruments. But instead of strumming it with your fingers, you use a long, narrow bow to play the violin.
Clarinet
The clarinet is like a long, narrow triangle, especially due to its wide bell. Circular keys along its sections are connected by long, narrow rectangles.
Headphones
You can listen to all this music with a set of headphones. You can use long curved lines and ovals to draw this modern headset.
Trumpet
The trumpet is a type of horn. It has a triangular bell. The body of the instrument is like a pipe that is coiled in a spiral shape.
Piano
This type of piano is called a Baby Grand. It has legs like a table and black and white rectangular keys on the front. It also has a curved lid that opens to let the sound come out more loudly.
Flute
This type of flute is also called a recorder. It is long and narrow with oval-shaped holes along the top. You will outline the instrument using curved lines.
Saxophone
The saxophone is an "S" shaped instrument. It has a large, round bell at the bottom and lots of round keys along its body.
