How to Draw a Trombone
Draw a trombone in 9 easy steps, about 7 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 long tube.
Step 1: The long tube
Start left of the middle. Draw a long line sloping up right and stop. Draw a matching line below.
Step 2: The big bell
From the right ends of both lines swoop out wide like a flower. Join the ends with a leaning oval.
Step 3: The back bend
Start on the left end of the top line. Draw a big C round and down, ending under the tube.
Step 4: The slide
From the back bend draw 2 long lines, stopping past the bell. Draw a C round, then 2 back.
Tip Where the top 2 lines reach the bell, stop, and carry on again just past its rim.
Step 5: The mouthpiece
On the left end of the bottom tube draw a thin ring. From it draw a little cup going left.
Step 6: Three braces
Near the back bend draw 2 short lines from tube down to tube. Add 1 more halfway along the slide.
Step 7: Toot! Music notes
Above the bell draw a small tilted oval note with a stem up and a curly flag. Add another.
Step 8: Shiny yellow brass
Colour the tube, back bend, slide and bell yellow like shiny brass. Leave the inside of the bell white.
Step 9: Orange bell, grey mouthpiece
Colour the inside of the bell orange, the mouthpiece grey, and the note heads black. Go over all your lines.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a trombone, drawn by you.
