You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below

Step 1: Draw the frame

Start by drawing a horizontal line. This will be the top part of the abacus frame. Then, draw a parallel line below it, leaving some space between them. Connect these lines with regular vertical lines to form the abacus frame.

Step 2: Add seeds

On each line (bar), draw a circle or oval to represent the particles. You can start from the top and work your way up. For a standard abacus, there are usually two beads above the horizontal bar and five beads below on each bar.

Step 3: Detail the beads

Within each circle or oval, draw a smaller circle or oval to represent the hole in the bead. This detail adds realism to your drawing.

Step 4: Final steps

Add any additional details you want, such as shading to give the abacus a three-dimensional look or coloring the beads for a more attractive drawing.

Step 5: Delete the guide line

Once you’re satisfied with the drawing, erase any unnecessary guides you used when sketching.

Step 6: Color

Color the particles and worksheet frames your favorite color.
