Simple Guitar Coloring Page

Print this simple guitar coloring page and a child gets one instrument, drawn straight on and filling the whole sheet. The body sits low with its round sound hole in the middle, the neck runs up to the top of the page, and a patterned strap loops down the left side and along the bottom. A free printable simple guitar coloring page for ages 2 to 8. The body itself is one large open shape with nothing inside it, which is the part a young child can finish alone.

How this coloring page was created

For this page, we entered the concept: "One bold simple acoustic guitar standing upright with a round sound hole and six strings, thick outlines" on Colorin AI and generated a print ready coloring page in seconds. The strap came back without being asked for, and it arrived covered in a repeating pattern rather than plain.

That extra is worth knowing about before printing. The instrument itself is as plain as we asked, but the strap is fine detailed work, so this page is really two difficulties on one sheet rather than the single easy one the prompt describes.

About this simple guitar coloring page

The split between the two is clean, and that turns out to be useful. Everything to the right of the strap is large and open, and everything on the strap is small and repeated, so one sheet suits a toddler and an older sibling at the same table.

The body is the reason. It is drawn as a single unbroken outline from the shoulder down around the lower bout and back up, with no seams, no binding line and no pickguard inside it, so there is one enormous area to fill and nothing to stay inside of.

Here is the count. Six tuning pegs sit on the head, three on each side, each an open oval on a short post. The neck below them is ruled across with about nineteen frets, and six strings run the full length from the nut, over the sound hole and down to the bridge. The sound hole is a circle with a second ring drawn just inside it. The bridge is a small rectangle with a wing at each end and six pins in a row along it. The strap is the busy part: it runs down the left side and turns along the bottom, and its whole length is filled with a chain of diamonds, each one holding a five petal flower, with a small dot in the gap between one diamond and the next and a zigzag border down both edges. Six of those flowers show on the front run alone, and a leather end with a slot and a rivet finishes the strap top and bottom.

Coloring Ideas and Techniques

Acoustic guitars are pale wood on the front and darker around the sides, so a light tan body with a deeper brown edge is both accurate and quick. Leaving the sound hole white makes it read as a hole rather than a circle drawn on the wood.

The strap is where the color belongs. Alternating two shades along the chain of diamonds gives the pattern a rhythm, and the small flowers inside them can take a third color without the strap ever looking crowded.
