How to Draw a Ukulele
Draw a ukulele in 13 easy steps, about 10 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 body.
Step 1: The body
Below the middle draw the body like a fat figure 8 standing up, with the bottom lobe bigger.
Tip Two round lobes with a waist, like a peanut.
Step 2: The sound hole
In the middle of the top lobe draw a round sound hole.
Step 3: Two big eyes
In the bottom lobe draw 2 big egg eyes, one each side, with a black dot and shine in each.
Tip Leave room above them for the bridge.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a small U smile. Add a small oval cheek below each eye.
Step 5: The neck
From the top of the body draw 2 close lines straight up for the neck, stopping a hand above.
Step 6: The head
Draw the head: start on the left neck line, step out, up and over, and stop on the right.
Step 7: Tuning pegs
On each side of the head draw 2 little round pegs sticking out on short lines.
Step 8: Frets and bridge
Draw 5 fret lines across the neck, evenly spaced. Add a short bridge bar between the hole and the eyes.
Step 9: Four strings
From the neck's top draw 4 long lines straight down to the bridge, jumping the hole.
Tip Close together and evenly spaced, like real strings.
Step 10: Notes and ground
Draw a music note floating each side: a small circle with a stem and flag. Add a ground line underneath.
Step 11: Tan body, pink cheeks
Colour the body tan and the cheeks pink, going around the sound hole. Leave the eyes white.
Step 12: Brown neck, black hole
Colour the neck and the head brown, and the sound hole black.
Step 13: Blue notes
Colour the notes blue. Go over your lines, and your ukulele is ready to strum!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a ukulele, drawn by you.
