Drawing Made Easy – How to Draw a Trumpet for Kids?

Trumpet drawing exercise will be a fascinating one for kids who adore music and drawing. Let us offer the following step-by-step instructions to instil artistic abilities in children. The guidelines mentioned below are easy to follow, favouring kids to master drawing a trumpet. 

• Let us start the drawing process by collecting the required equipment. A paper, pencil, eraser, marker, and colouring supplies are enough to sketch wonderful images of trumpets. 
• Take a pencil and draw two parallel horizontal lines to form the mouth pipe of the trumpet. Adjust the length of the lines according to the size of the trumpet visually imagined. 
• Sketch two symmetrical curved lines from the right end of the horizontal parallel lines sketched in the preceding step to form the bell of the trumpet. 
• Connecting the ends of the curved lines, draw a vertical straight line. Adjacently draw another vertical straight line and connect the two lines using rounded lines on the top and bottom parts. 
• Draw the mouthpiece. Sketch a small vertical line connecting the left ends of the horizontal parallel lines sketched in the initial step. Symmetrically draw two curved lines and connect them using another vertical line. 
• Outline an elongated oval shape in the bottom part of the mouth pipe. Sketch a similar outline but in a smaller size to form the curved tube. 
• Draw six straight vertical lines over the curved tube and the mouth pipe. Connect every two lines by drawing rounded lines to form the valves. 
• Erase the extra lines and make the valves appear like they are behind the mouth pipe and the curved tube. 
• Redraw the outline using a black indelible marker to make the trumpet appear more attractive. 
• Paint the drawing in gold colour to make it appear original. If interested, kids can try colour blending techniques to make their work visually appealing to others.
