Step-by-Step Easy Musical Note Tutorial
Start by drawing a large black circle right in the center of your page to form the note head.
Draw two straight vertical lines pointing straight down from the bottom of the circle.
Draw two short horizontal lines pointing outwards at the bottom of the legs for the feet.
Draw a stem going up from the right side of the circle, and add a curvy flag pointing downwards.
Draw two small circles inside the main note head for the eyes.
Fill in the eyes with solid color, and draw two little oval cheeks underneath them.
Add cute little white sparkle highlights inside the black eyes, and draw a happy smile.
Draw two bent lines coming out from the sides of the note head to create little arms resting on its hips.
Color the main body and stem a dark charcoal gray or black. Keep the cheeks rosy pink.
Sparkle Highlights: A tiny white dot in each eye brings the character to life — don’t skip this detail!
Arm Pose: Bending the arms so the hands rest on the hips gives the note a confident, sassy personality.
