Why would anyone want to know how to draw the TikTok logo?
- It’s possible that they’re a habitual doodler who spends lots of time on the social media platform, and they want to draw something they find more interesting than animals or flowers.
- They might be hand-drawing a sign for public display and want to include the logos of the apps where they have accounts.
- Most likely, they could be an amateur designer and want to use the logo on a t-shirt, cap, or something else they’re working on.
In any event, creating the iconic, three-dimensional TikTok logo by hand isn’t as difficult as it might first appear.
How to Draw the TikTok Logo
The hardest part of this task is drawing a single, stylized musical note. After that, you just have to duplicate it and add detail. It’s best to have the actual logo open on a screen while you work, so you can duplicate it as closely as possible.
- Start by creating your musical note. This will be an eighth-note (the one with a tail at the top), so make the bottom curvy like a small-case “o” and the stem of the note straight like a capital “I.” It should be a two-dimensional note (one that you could color in if you wanted to). Leave the “tail part” blank for now.
- Now draw the note’s tail, again in two dimensions, with a curved line on the top and a less-curved line on the bottom, and connecting the two curves with a straight line.
- Draw a duplicate of the note slightly to the right of and “behind” the first one, using a “shadow effect” that makes the logo look three-dimensional. In other words, you want the second note to look like it’s behind and slightly underneath the first one, so don’t draw the parts that would be “hidden” by the top drawing.
- Similarly, draw a third version of the note slightly above and to the left of the original one, again leaving off the parts that would be “hidden.”
- Color the original note black (hexadecimal color 000000), use red (FF0000) for the shadow to the right, and use cyan (00FFFF) or turquoise (#25F4EE) for the shadow to the left.
That’s all there is to it. It won’t look perfect, but it will be close enough that everyone will recognize exactly what you’ve drawn.
