If you are learning to draw or are an active artist, this article will be useful for you. Musical instruments are graceful forms designed to inspire the musician. It is not easy to convey this on paper in all its beauty, so below we will look at several examples of how to draw tools with a pencil.

You can print out the basic construction lines and start drawing on tracing paper, or you can draw the grid yourself by following these steps:

1. Draw a rectangle that will define the conditional proportions and boundaries of the selected drawing.
2. From the middle of the rectangle, draw one vertical and one horizontal line dividing the shape equally.
3. Draw another horizontal line evenly dividing the top half of the rectangle. Similarly, draw a horizontal line evenly dividing the bottom half of the figure.
4. Draw a vertical line equally dividing the left half of the rectangle. Similarly, draw a vertical line evenly separatingthe right half of the figure.

Pipe

Algorithm of actions:

1. Mark the width and height of the pipe. Add general proportions. Draw an oval for the bell and lines for the center.
2. Circle the longest part of the base.
3. Define pipe parts and components using common lines.
4. Add mouthpiece, valves and valve sides.
5. Delimit the shape.
6. Add lines to indicate the shape.
7. Draw the instrument with attention to detail.
8. Add an outline to change the blackness and thickness of the line. Add some details to the base of the pipe.

Electric guitar

Algorithm of actions:

1. Mark the width and height of the picture. Draw a vertical line from top to bottom on the guitar. Draw an oval for the body of the guitar.
2. Delimit the head and neck. Add lines for the pegs and bridge.
3. Add upper body and tuning pegs.
4. Indicate the shape of the upper body, determine the place for the pickups.
5. Draw the sides of the guitar and the head.
6. Draw in details such as pickups, volume and tone controls.
7. Work on the shape of the entire guitar.
8. Add outline, paying attention to detail.

Piano

Algorithm of actions:

1. Mark the width and height of the tool. Determine its proportions.
2. Drawbody and lid. Outline the sides of the base.
3. Add lines to show the shape of the hull.
4. Mark the proportions of the legs and the key.
5. Outline the shape of the keyboard, feet and lid.
6. Work on the shape of the grand piano by adding wheels and pedals.
7. Draw the whole shape, paying particular attention to detail.
8. Add an outline, trying to change the thickness and blackness of the line. Add more details and gender.

These are just a couple of examples of how to draw tools. We hope that they will help you better understand the structure and features of drawing. Most importantly, remember that perseverance and constant training is the key to success. In the future, you will be able to understand how to draw tools of a more complex or unusual plan. Good luck on your creative journey!
