Steps
Draw the body
Let’s draw the body!
Okay, let’s begin by drawing the shape of the guitar body. This looks like a sand timer shape, just like the ones we use to play games! Can you please draw a big, stretched-out egg shape right in the middle of your paper?
Add the Neck and Headstock
Let’s put on the neck and headstock! Yay!
From the tippy top of the body, draw two lines that go up, up, up! These lines will make the neck of the guitar.
Draw a little rectangle-like shape at the tippy top of the neck. This is the headstock, where the super cool tuning pegs live!
Sketch the Tuning Pegs
Can you please draw the little twisty things on the guitar?
Draw little circles or ovals on the headstock to show where the tuning pegs go! These little pegs are used to make the strings tighter or looser so we can make the music sound just right!
Create the Fretboard
Let’s make the Fretboard! Yay!
Can you please draw some straight lines going sideways on the neck? It’s like making little steps for the guitar strings to sit on. Frets are like little metal bars on the guitar neck that help us find different notes. They’re super cool!
Add the Sound Hole
Let’s put in the Sound Hole! Yay!
In the middle of the body, let’s make a round or oval shape! This is the special hole that lets the sound come out and make the guitar sound super cool!
Draw the Bridge
Can you please draw the bridge for me? Pretty please with a cherry on top!
Draw a teeny tiny rectangle on the bottom part of the body. This is the bridge, where the strings are tied down.
Draw the cool cover thingy (if you want to).
Sketch the Pickguard (Optional)
Some guitars have a special shield called a pickguard to keep the body safe from the tickling of the guitar pick. You can make your guitar look super cool by drawing a fun shape around the sound hole! Just grab some colourful markers and let your imagination go wild!
Outline the Shape
Let’s draw and outline the shape! It’s gonna be so much fun!
Okay, let’s make the sketch super cool! Use your magic pencil to draw stronger lines, making sure to follow the curves and shapes of the guitar body and neck.

Add Details
Draw the strings by making super skinny lines from the bridge to the tuning pegs on the headstock.
Ooh, can we add some super cool designs to the guitar? Like, maybe some pretty shapes on the fretboard or fun patterns on the body? It would make the guitar look extra awesome!
Shading and Coloring (Optional)
If you want, you can use shading to make your drawing look more 3D and cool! Hey there! Let’s think about where the light is coming from and make sure we draw shadows in the right places.
Yay! Let’s use fun coloured pencils, markers, or any colouring tools you like to make your guitar drawing super colourful!
