How to Draw a Sticky Note
Draw a sticky note 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 note.
Step 1: The note
In the middle draw a big square for the note, with the bottom-right corner cut off by a short slant.
Tip As wide as it is tall, with one corner clipped.
Step 2: The sticky strip
Near the top draw a straight line from the left edge to the right edge for the sticky strip.
Step 3: Two big eyes
Below the strip draw 2 big egg eyes. Colour a black dot in each, with a shine.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a U smile from eye to eye. Add a small oval cheek beside each end.
Step 5: A scribbled reminder
Under the face draw 2 short lines of writing, the second one shorter.
Step 6: Curling corner
On the slant draw a tiny curved flap curling up, from one end of the slant to the other.
Step 7: Shadow and table
Draw a thin oval shadow peeking out under the note, then a table line out from both ends.
Step 8: Three sparkles
Add 3 small four-point sparkles in the air around the note, not touching it.
Step 9: Pink cheeks, sand flap
Go over your lines. Leave the eyes white, and colour the cheeks pink and the curling flap sand.
Step 10: Yellow note, grey shadow
Colour the note and sparkles yellow around the cheeks and eyes, the shadow grey, and your sticky note is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a sticky note, drawn by you.
