Step 1

For this guide on drawing a desk, you may want to have a ruler handy as you will be drawing many straight lines for this image.

Using the ruler, we will draw the beginning of the desktop surface. which will be slightly inclined. 

We’ll draw some rounded corners for the desk and then use some larger rounded lines for the chair at the table. At the end of this step, there will still be a space left on the top left of the desktop, but we’ll fill that up soon in the next few steps.

Step 2

We will draw the first object on the desktop for the next part of your desktop drawing. This object will be a computer mouse drawn in a small round shape. Next, we’ll use some short, straight lines for the mouse pad you’re sitting on. 

Then using your ruler, you can extend the line from the mouse to the right corner of the desktop to fill that gap. There will still be a space to the mouse’s left, but we’ll fill that space in the next step.

Step 3

The second object we will draw in this guide on drawing a desk will be a thin computer monitor place on the desk. This will fill that gap we’ve mentioned several times, and you can use your ruler again for this part. You can draw a large square with some lines outside to start a 3D effect and then draw another smaller square inside for the back of the monitor. You can then use some straight and curved lines for the monitor base.

Step 4

We’ll leave the desktop surface for a moment, and for this part of drawing your desktop, we’ll concentrate on the desktop’s outline.
