How to Draw a Pen
Draw a pen 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 pen body.
Step 1: The pen body
Draw a tall thin box down the middle of your paper, about 3 fingers wide. Round the top corners.
Step 2: The tip
From the bottom corners draw 2 lines sloping in to a point, like an upside-down roof. That is the tip.
Step 3: 2 big eyes
On the body draw 2 big egg eyes. Colour a big black dot in each, leaving a white shine.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile from eye to eye. Add a small flat cheek beside each end.
Step 5: Cap band and clip
Near the top draw 2 lines across, a finger apart. Add a long thin clip down the right side.
Step 6: The grip
Near the bottom draw 2 more lines across, close together, for the grip.
Step 7: A scribble
From the tip draw a thin wavy band out to the left. Stop near the edge of your paper.
Step 8: Sparkles
Draw 3 small sparkle stars around the pen.
Step 9: Cheeks and sparkles
Colour the cheeks pink and the sparkles yellow.
Step 10: Blue pen
Colour the body and the scribble blue, around the cheeks. Leave the cap band, grip band and eyes white.
Step 11: Slate tip and clip
Colour the tip, the clip and the grip band slate. Your pen is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a pen, drawn by you.
