Step by Step Highlighter Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Draw the Left and Top Sides
Start by drawing a tall angled “L” shape. This will be the left and top edge of the highlighter’s body.
Step 2 – Complete the Body
Now close the shape with a matching angled line on the right and a flat bottom edge. You should have a wide top and a narrow base — the body of your highlighter!
Step 3 – Add the Cap
At the top, draw a small rounded rectangle sitting on the highlighter. This is the cap of the pen.
Step 4 – Draw the Bottom Edge
Now draw a small slanted shape at the bottom of the highlighter. This will become the angled tip section of the pen.
Step 5 – Add the Marker Tip
Draw a tiny rectangular tip at the very bottom — this is the highlighter’s writing end!
Step 6 – Draw a Cute Face
Make your highlighter super cute by adding two dot eyes and a smile near the lower middle of the pen body.
