How to Draw a Harp
Draw a harp in 11 easy steps, about 8 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 column.
Step 1: The column
On the left draw a tall thin rectangle standing up, almost to the top, with a round knob on top.
Step 2: Curved neck
From the top of the column draw a thick band arching over to the right and swooping down.
Tip Rub out the bit of column line inside the band, so they join as one frame.
Step 3: Soundboard
From the right end of the neck draw a thick slanted band down to the column's bottom, like a ramp.
Step 4: The base
Under the column and the ramp draw a flat rounded bar, a little wider than both.
Step 5: Four strings
Inside the frame draw 4 long straight lines from under the neck down to the ramp, longest on the left.
Step 6: Three more strings
Draw 3 more strings to the right, shorter each time, from the neck down to the ramp.
Step 7: Music note
Beside the harp on the right draw a music note: a round head, a stem up and a little flag.
Step 8: Sparkles and floor
Draw 2 sparkle stars beside the harp. Draw a floor line under the base from left to right.
Step 9: Gold frame
Go over your lines. Colour the column, knob, neck and sparkles gold yellow.
Step 10: Wood soundboard
Colour the ramp and the base wood brown.
Step 11: Black note
Colour the music note head black. Your harp is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a harp, drawn by you.
