How to Draw a Computer
Draw a computer in 13 easy steps, about 10 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the monitor.
Step 1: The monitor
At the top middle of your paper, draw a wide TV shape with soft corners, wider than it is tall.
Tip About one and a half times wider than tall.
Step 2: The screen
Draw the screen a finger inside the edge, with a big chin. Add a chin button and a corner glint.
Step 3: Eyes and cheeks
On the screen, draw 2 big round eyes with black dots. Add an oval cheek below each eye.
Step 4: Neck and foot
Under the chin, draw 2 short neck lines that lean out, down to a wide flat foot.
Tip The foot is wide and flat, about a hand across.
Step 5: Big smile
Draw a wide U smile from one cheek over to the other. Draw a straight top line. Add a tongue.
Step 6: The desk top
Behind the foot, draw a wide desk top with slanted ends. Add a thick edge along its front.
Tip The desk is a hand wider than the foot on each side.
Step 7: Legs and floor
From each end of the desk edge, draw a short leg down to a floor line, wider than the desk.
Step 8: The keyboard
On the desk, a finger under the foot, draw a long flat box for the keyboard, a thumb tall.
Step 9: Keys and space bar
Draw a line across the keyboard halfway down. Split the top into 4 keys. Add a pill space bar below.
Step 10: Mouse and cord
Right of the keyboard, draw an oval mouse. Draw a lazy S cord from the mouse over to the keyboard.
Step 11: Sky screen, pink cheeks
Colour the screen sky blue around the eyes and mouth. Leave the eyes white. Colour the cheeks and tongue pink.
Step 12: Stone keyboard, wood desk
Colour the keyboard and mouse stone grey, then the desk and legs wood brown around them and the foot.
Step 13: Slate monitor, black mouth
Colour the frame, neck and foot slate grey, around the screen. Colour the mouth black around the tongue.
