Supplies for drawing a microphone

Let’s get started:

First, let’s make sure our paper is landscape, that means sideways like a train. 

Artist tip: point to the middle of your paper with your finger.

This will tell your eyes how much space you have to draw in. It does not have to be exact! 

Ok! Let’s draw! 

1. Draw a circle, lightly in the upper part of your paper. This circle will be the mic grille, where you would sing into.

2. Add the curved midline to the circle. This will be across the middle, like a belt.

Then straighten out the end where it will attach to the body of the microphone.

Draw another line slightly above this line, like a curved rectangle.

3. Next, draw 2 lines straight down from the mic grille, this will be the body of the mic, where someone would hold onto it.

5. Now, for some details. Add another line on the body, under the top of the mic area.

Also, add a smaller rectangle under the bottom of the microphone.

This would be where the cord attaches. Add a cord, 2 wavy lines coming from the bottom of the microphone.
