Let’s Draw a Nintendo Game Boy!

Before the Nintendo Switch, there was a cool little gadget called the Nintendo Game Boy. It was a handheld game device that many people loved. Today, we’re going to learn how to draw one! So, grab your drawing tools and let’s have some fun!

What You Need

To draw with us, you’ll need:

  • Something to draw with (markers are great, but anything will do)
  • Paper
  • Colors for coloring

Step 1: Drawing the Screen

Let’s start with the screen:

  1. Shape the Screen: Draw a square with rounded corners. Start with a short line going up and add a little curve at the top left. Then, draw the bottom line to match the left side. Finish with a rounded corner on the right and a line going down.
  2. Frame the Screen: Draw a line above the screen, leaving some space. Make sure the corners are curved and connect the sides with rounded lines.

Step 2: Adding the Body of the Game Boy

Now, let’s draw the body:

  1. Outline the Body: Extend the lines on both sides of the screen. Draw a big curve at the bottom to connect the sides, making the Game Boy’s shape.
  2. Draw the D-Pad: On the left, draw two close lines up and down, and connect them with lines across the top and bottom. Do this again to make the D-Pad.

Step 3: Adding Buttons

Time to add some buttons:

  1. A and B Buttons: Draw two circles for the A and B buttons. Make sure they’re a little apart.
  2. Select and Start Buttons: Draw slanted lines for these buttons and connect them with curves on the sides.
  3. Speaker Holes: On the bottom right, draw six tiny lines for the speaker holes.

Step 4: Final Touches

Let’s finish up with some coloring:

  1. Coloring: Now that your drawing is done, color it in! Use your markers or any colors you like.
  2. Don’t forget to add some shiny spots on the buttons and speaker with a white pencil.
  3. Add a little green dot to show the battery light.

Conclusion

Yay! You’ve drawn a Nintendo Game Boy! Remember, the best part is having fun and enjoying your drawing. Take your time and pause if you need to. Happy drawing!

  • Have you ever played with a handheld game device like the Nintendo Game Boy or the Nintendo Switch? What was your favorite game, and why did you like it?
  • When you draw something like a Game Boy, what colors do you like to use, and why do you choose those colors? Do they remind you of anything special?
  • Imagine you could design your own handheld game device. What would it look like, and what kind of games would you want to play on it?
  1. Game Boy Exploration: Ask your parents or guardians if they have any old handheld game devices like the Game Boy. If they do, take a closer look at it. Notice the buttons, screen, and shape. How does it compare to your drawing? If you don’t have one at home, look up pictures online with an adult’s help. Discuss with your family how games have changed over time.
  2. Create Your Own Game Device: Use a cardboard box or a piece of paper to design your own handheld game device. Think about what games it would play and what buttons it might need. Decorate it with colors and stickers. Share your creation with your class or family and explain how it works.
  3. Button Hunt: Go on a “button hunt” around your house. Look for different types of buttons on devices like remote controls, game controllers, or even toys. Count how many buttons you find and think about what each button does. Discuss with a friend or family member why buttons are important for devices.
