How to Draw a Tuning Fork
Draw a tuning fork 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 fork.
Step 1: The fork
Draw a tall U with a thick bottom. Draw a thin U inside, joined at the top for 2 prongs.
Tip A tuning fork hums one perfect note when you tap it.
Step 2: Two eyes
In the thick bottom draw 2 round eyes with a gap between them. Add a black dot in each.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a small U smile. Add an oval cheek beside each end of the smile.
Step 4: The handle
From the bottom of the U draw 2 straight lines down, stopping above the ground. Join them for a handle.
Step 5: The foot
At the bottom of the handle draw a small flat foot sitting on the ground.
Step 6: Wobble lines
Beside each prong draw 2 curved wobble lines, one a little further out than the other.
Step 7: Ground line
Draw a ground line under the foot from left to right.
Step 8: Music notes
On each side of the fork draw a small music note, an oval with a stick and a flag.
Step 9: Pink cheeks
Go over your lines, then colour the cheeks pink.
Step 10: Grey fork
Colour the fork and handle grey, going around the pink cheeks. Leave the eyes white.
Step 11: Dark foot, black notes
Colour the foot dark grey and the music notes black. Hmmmm!
