How to Draw a Phone (Easy Step by Step)
A phone is a great first drawing because it is mostly rectangles with round corners. You will draw a tall phone, six little app squares, and a speech bubble with a heart inside. Tilting the phone a bit makes it look like someone just set it down.

Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: The phone body
Draw a tall rectangle with round corners, leaning just a little to one side. This is the outside edge of the phone.
Step 3: The screen
Inside the phone, draw a smaller tall rectangle with round corners. Leave an even gap between it and the outer edge, like a picture frame.
Step 4: Camera and home bar
Draw a small filled dot in the gap at the top for the camera. Then add a short, thick line near the bottom of the screen for the home bar.
Step 5: Top app icons
Near the top of the screen, draw two rounded squares side by side. Leave a little space between them.
Step 6: Middle app icons
Draw two more rounded squares in a row under the first pair. Try to make them about the same size.
Step 7: Bottom app icons
Add one last row of two rounded squares above the home bar. Now the screen has six apps.
Step 8: The speech bubble
Next to the phone, draw a wide rounded rectangle. At the bottom left, draw a little pointy tail that sticks out and joins back into the bubble.
Step 9: The little heart
Inside the bubble, draw a small heart. Start with two bumps on top and curve down to a point at the bottom.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a phone
- Draw the screen rectangle after the phone body, and keep the gap the same all the way around so it looks like a frame.
- The app squares are the trickiest part. Draw the top row first, then line up the next rows underneath them.
- For the speech bubble, draw the rounded rectangle first and add the little tail last. Make the tail short and pointy.

How to color your phone drawing
Try a bright blue or purple for the phone body and give each app square its own color. For a creative twist, make the heart pink and add tiny pictures inside the apps, like a sun, a camera, or a music note.
Phone fun fact for kids
