Download Article
Draw a rounded rectangular shape with a long rectangle for the finger board.
Add a curve line on the sides of the rounded rectangle. Erase the previous lines and draw a shape like an ice cream cone at the bottom. This will serve as a tailpiece. Add small circles on the edge of the long rectangle above.Advertisement
Make an outline for the sketches.
Add the scroll on top of the fingerboard, a bridge in the middle of the cello's body and an S shape on each side
Make small circles at the side of the scroll at the top for tuning pegs. This is where you tune your cello.
Color the body a woody shade. This could be brown or maroon and grey on the fingerboard and tailpiece
Add 4 lines from scroll to the tailpiece. These will be the strings. White lines are best, but black or grey work too.

- QuestionCan the cello be another color?
Elena HimmerichCommunity AnswerYes. The cello in the instructions is brown because most cellos are that color, but you can draw one any way you want. - QuestionWhat about the background?
Community AnswerYou can add musical notes on a stave surrounding it, or some sort of flower growing around it. It's up to you, though! - QuestionCould it be drawn in 2-D using the same steps, but taking away the parts that make it look 3-D?
SylghoulsTop AnswererSure! In order to accomplish this, you would need to avoid drawing the 3-D outline shown to the right of the cello body in the article pictures, then color as needed.
