🖍️ Tools For Success

🎨 Parents: The only tools you need to use these how-to-draw tutorials are: an eraser, a pencil, and a piece of paper. But – if you have them around – a sketching pencil makes for fainter and softer lines that help kids build fine motor accuracy. I also recommend going over the sketch pencil with a black outline marker when you’re done for a neater finish. Lastly, erase the pencil marks before adding color.

Step-by-Step: How To Draw a Notebook

  1. Draw a rectangular-shaped notebook in a slanting position.
  2. Make the right and left sides longer than the upper and lower parts of the notebook.
  3. You can draw a bigger or smaller rectangle depending on how you would like to present your notebook. 
  4. Trace the right and lower sides of the rectangular notebook with a straight line beneath them. The line beneath should appears smaller than the notebook because this will serve as the paper. 
  5. Repeat step two, but make sure this line looks bigger than the other line in the middle. This line will serve as the other side of the notebook. 
  6. On the notebook’s right side, draw three semi-circular notebook springs.
  7. Repeat this step until the right side of the notebook is fully occupied. Make sure that the distance between the springs is even. 
  8. Let’s finish this notebook by coloring the cover with red and the paper with white. You can choose whatever design you want for your notebook. Red and blue colored covers are the easiest and most popular used.
