How to Draw a Gramophone
Draw a gramophone in 12 easy steps, about 9 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 wooden box.
Step 1: The wooden box
Low on your paper, left of the middle, draw a box with rounded corners, wider than it is tall.
Step 2: Two big eyes
On the box draw 2 big egg eyes, an eye-width apart. Colour a black dot in each, leaving a shine.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a U smile. Add a small flat oval cheek beside each end.
Step 4: The record
Across the top edge draw a flat oval record. Rub out the line inside and add a small oval label.
Step 5: The horn tube
Start on the record. Draw a tube that curves up and right like a swan neck, and stops high up.
Step 6: The big horn
At the end of the tube draw a big horn that opens up and to the right, like a flower.
Step 7: Horn opening and crank
Draw an oval in the horn's mouth. From the box side, bend a thick crank up to a black knob.
Step 8: Box line and notes
Draw a line across the box just under the record. Add 3 music notes in the air around the horn.
Step 9: The table
Under the box, draw a long straight table line from left to right.
Step 10: Gold horn
Go over your lines. Colour the horn, its tube and the crank gold, and the horn's mouth orange.
Step 11: Pink cheeks, brown box
Colour the cheeks pink, then the box brown around the record, eyes and cheeks. Leave the eyes white.
Step 12: Black record
Colour the record and the note heads black, leaving the label white. Your gramophone is ready to play!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a gramophone, drawn by you.
