Step by Step Pencil Case Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Start with the Zipper Pull
Draw a small zipper pull in the shape of a circle and a hanging diamond. It looks like a tiny charm!
Step 2 – Draw the Zipper
From the zipper pull, draw a long curved horizontal line — this is the open zipper of the pencil case.
Step 3 – Sketch the Case Shape
Now draw the rest of the case by connecting the sides with smooth vertical curves and a long curved bottom.
Step 4 – Add Supplies Inside
Let’s fill it up! Draw the tops of different supplies poking out — like a ruler, eraser, and marker on the left side.
Step 5 – Draw Pencils on the Right
Now add two pencils to the right side, one with a pointed tip and one with a round eraser top. This makes it look extra full!
Step 6 – Add a Cute Face
Time to make it adorable! Draw two dot eyes and a smiley face on the case body below the zipper.
