Step-by-Step Drawing Guide

Step 1: Draw the Inner Screen

Start with a smaller rounded rectangle to form the computer’s inner screen area.

Keep the corners smooth and the line light so you can add the outer frame later.

Pro Tip: Center the inner screen and leave space around it for the outer frame.

Step 2: Add the Outer Frame

Draw a larger rounded rectangle around the inner screen to create a thick outer frame.

Keep the spacing even between the two shapes so the bezel looks consistent.

Pro Tip: Mark the same bezel width on all sides before drawing the outline.

Step 3: Draw a Cute Face on the Screen

In the center of the inner screen, draw a small “w”-shaped mouth using two smooth curves.

Add one big round eye on each side, then place a small highlight circle inside each eye.

Pro Tip: Keep both eyes symmetrical and spaced evenly from the mouth.

Step 4: Add a Small Stand

Under the center of the screen, draw a shallow curved line to form a tiny neck/stand.

Add a short curved line on each side so the stand looks like it supports the screen.

Pro Tip: Center the stand under the screen and keep both side curves the same length.

Step 5: Draw the Keyboard

Below the stand, draw a wide, flattened rounded rectangle for the keyboard, with a slight tilt.

Inside it, add small rounded keys and one long spacebar near the bottom.

Pro Tip: Make the keyboard slightly wider than the screen so it feels sturdy.

Step 6: Add the Mouse and Cable

To the right of the keyboard, draw a small oval for the mouse and add a curved line to split the buttons.

Draw a smooth, wavy cable line from the keyboard area to the mouse.

Pro Tip: Keep the mouse small, about the height of the keyboard, for balance.
