How to Draw a Notebook
Draw a notebook in 10 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 cover.
Step 1: The cover
Draw a box with soft corners in the middle of your paper, almost twice as tall as it is wide.
Step 2: The spiral
Along the top edge draw 6 little upright ovals, evenly spaced, half above the edge and half below.
Step 3: A happy face
In the middle draw 2 big eyes, each with a black dot and a shine. Add a U smile below.
Step 4: The label
Above the face draw a small wide box with soft corners, not touching the sides.
Step 5: Name lines
Start near the left of the label. Draw a line across to the right, and a shorter one under it.
Step 6: Rosy cheeks
Draw a small oval cheek out beside each end of the smile.
Step 7: A heart sticker
Low on the right draw a heart: start at the top dip, round and down to the point, and back.
Step 8: Cream label, peach cheeks
Go over your lines, then colour the label cream and the cheeks peach.
Step 9: Pink heart, grey rings
Colour the heart pink and the spiral rings grey.
Step 10: Orange cover
Colour the cover orange, around the label, rings, cheeks and heart. Leave the eyes white. Your notebook is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a notebook, drawn by you.
