How to Draw a Piano Player
Draw a piano player in 14 easy steps, about 11 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: egg head.
Step 1: Egg head
On the left side of your paper, a little above the middle, draw an egg head.
Tip Keep the right half of your paper empty for the piano.
Step 2: The face
On the right half of the head draw 2 oval eyes with black dots, a tiny nose and a smile.
Tip The face sits to the right because the kid looks at the music.
Step 3: Hair and ponytail
Draw hair over the top and down the back of the head. Add a ponytail hanging at the back.
Step 4: Neck and body
Draw a short neck. Under it draw a narrow body with a round chest and a flat bottom.
Step 5: Stool
Just under the body draw a flat seat on 2 legs. Draw a long floor line under the legs.
Step 6: Legs and shoes
Draw a leg along the seat that bends down at the knee, the other leg peeking behind. Add 2 shoes.
Tip The feet do not reach the floor. They dangle.
Step 7: Piano case
On the right draw a tall box on the floor with a thin lid. Add a shelf over the knees.
Tip The piano is a little taller than the kid.
Step 8: Black and white keys
On the shelf draw a long thin box. Add 2 lines down it and a black key on each line.
Step 9: Hands on the keys
Draw an arm from the shoulder to a hand on the keys. Add a sleeve line and the other arm.
Tip Bend the arm at the elbow. The other arm peeks out above it and reaches a little further.
Step 10: Music and pedal
Above the keys draw a little desk and a page with 2 curved lines. Add a pedal near the floor.
Tip The curved lines are the music the kid is reading.
Step 11: Peach and pink
Colour the face, neck, arms and hands peach. Add a pink cheek. Leave the eyes, keys and page white.
Step 12: Yellow and red
Colour the T-shirt, its sleeve and the pedal yellow. Colour the seat and both shoes red.
Step 13: Tan and blue
Colour the lid, the shelf, the little desk and the stool legs tan. Colour the trousers blue.
Step 14: Brown and black
Colour the tall piano case, the hair and the ponytail brown. Colour the 2 small keys black.
