How to Draw A Cartoon Pillow

Let's see how you could draw a simple and nice cartoon pillow! Not everyone has the chance to sleep on a tight and comfortable pillow! They can turn an average night of sleep into a very good one! 

Some even sleep with two pillows or more! Let's see how you could draw a simple pillow using a single shape (a rectangle) and a few lines!

Step 1

First, draw the outline of the pillow using a basic rectangle. You can incline this shape like shown above to make your illustration more enjoyable!

Step 2

Refine the outline of your pillow by drawing a smooth, but irregular line. Your shape should look comfortable and soft.

Step 3

Draw the opening of the pillow using a thick shape (almost as thick as a simple line). Place this new line near the right of your pillow.

Step 4

Add a couple of lines starting near the outline to show the folds of your object.

Step 5

Finally, draw some shadows to give life to your pillow!

Step 6

The shadows can be colored with a light grey tone.

Step 7

If you wish, you can add a small and subtle shadow under the pillow to give a better look to your work! And there you have it! A nice and easy pillow drawn with a single shape in only seven easy steps! Have fun and feel free to experiment with colors, positions and dimensions!
