How to Draw an Arrow

In this very simple drawing instruction the team of the Easydrawingart.com will tell you how to draw an arrow easy and fast. In fact, an arrow is literally a super simple object, which can be depicted with the help of several straight lines. The arrow consists of three parts: a shaft, a head (or a tip) and a tail. All these details, as mentioned above, can be depicted using straight lines, using a ruler or any other auxiliary items. But for more introduction to the art of drawing, we strongly advise you not to use anything like that.

Step 1

We will start drawing an arrow from the shaft. Using translucent lines draw a very long and thin rectangle. You can choose the length yourself, depending on how long your arrow will be.

Step 2

Now draw a sharp arrowhead. It is a figure that looks like a triangle. The tip of the arrow can be drawn using thick and clear lines, since no corrections in this detail will be made in future stages.

Step 3

Now we make a light sketch of the fletching. On both sides of our long rectangle, depict two figures that look like parallelograms. They are a mirror image of each other. In this step, your artwork should already look like an arrow drawing.

Step 4

Let’s make outlines of the feathers. Depict the same number of sloping lines on both parts of the fletching. Lines must be clear and even. If you performed everything right, then your drawing of an arrow should be similar to what the artists of Easydrawingart.com have drawn.

Step 5

It’s time to add color and some realism to our arrow drawing. In our case, we create a steel gray tip, a wooden brown shaft and a yellow plumage. Colors can be, of course, any color. You can also add shadows to make the arrow sketch more voluminous.
