How To Draw a Violin / Fiddle (Musical Instrument) – Easy Peasy For Kids

As mentioned in our how to draw piano and how to draw drum set tutorials…I don’t have a single musical gene in my body. That’s not the kind of art skills I’ve been bestowed upon 🙂 Violins are delicate string instruments. Violins (also known as Fiddles) are not something known to be easy to play or easy to draw. Most violins have a hollow wooden body, a high soprano sound, and the smallest of the wooden string instruments of this kind. This tutorial is a simplified version of the violin, perfect for young kids to get familiar with the shape first. Let’s draw!

🖍️ 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.
