So you want to draw a cell phone? Need it for a scene of someone talking to a friend, or for a fake advertisement? Here's one model that is easy to draw, just follow these steps.
Steps
-
Draw a rectangle in any angle. It's easiest to draw it right side up the first time, as shown here, and give it rounded corners so as to look more like an actual cell phone.
-
Add depth to this first rectangle by drawing a line parallel to one of its sides. Now your phone should look almost like a long rectangular box with rounded corners, or a deck of unusually thin cards
-
Draw a smaller, more even-sided rectangle contained in the first rectangle. You can make it as large as you want, just leave some space for the phone's buttons.
-
For the buttons, draw two rectangles below the screen. You can draw another in the middle if that's how you imagine your phone to look, and make the rectangles as big or small as you want.
-
Draw an oval for the arrow pad. You can even add some directional arrows: up, down, left, and right. Add a circular button in the middle.
-
To paint the cell phone you can use grey, like in the illustration, or any color you like. Paint the screen a bright color (like neon blue). You're done!Advertisement
