How to draw a school step by step

How to draw a school with this how-to video and step-by-step drawing instructions. Simple drawing for kids and beginners.

Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below

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

Step 1

Start by drawing a long and narrow rectangle. Use two long parallel horizontal lines and two short vertical lines. This shape forms the foundation of the building.

Step 2

Place another rectangle on top of the narrow rectangle. Draw a long line parallel to the rectangle and connect the shapes with two vertical lines. This forms the front wall of the building.

Step 3

Close a trapezoid just above the top of the wall. Then, connect the lower corners of the trapezoid to the upper corners of the wall. This forms the roof of the school.

Step 4

Draw a narrow, horizontal rectangle that overlaps the eaves of the roof. This will form the bottom of the overhang. From the overhang, extend four sets of straight, vertical, parallel lines downwards. The midline aggregates should extend to the end of the field, and the outer aggregates come just outside its foundation. Then enclose each set of lines by drawing a small rectangle. These lines form columns that support the overhang.

Step 5

Remove the guide lines from the overhang.

Step 6

Close a rectangle over the overhang, with a smaller rectangle inside it. Then place a large triangle above the rectangles and draw a smaller triangle inside it. This completes the overhanging roof. Remove guide lines as necessary.

Step 7

Enclose a rectangle extending from the foundation, between the columns. Then, draw two vertical, parallel, narrow lines in the center of the rectangle. This forms the doors of the school. Draw a narrow, horizontal rectangle on top of the door. Next, draw multiple school windows. For each window, use three lines to enclose a square, leaving the top open. Close the top with a curved line, creating an arched window. Draw a pair of perpendicular lines through each window.

Step 8

Draw a clock within the triangular top of the overhang. Start by drawing a circle, with a “V” shaped line inside to indicate the clock hands. Then write the word “SCHOOL” on the front of the overhang.

Step 9

Roof detail with horizontal lines. Draw a horizontal line just above the roof and connect it to the corners of the roof using short lines. Draw horizontal lines extending from each side of the field to represent the horizon, and a pair of different diagonal lines to create a path leading to the front door of the school.

Step 1o

Color your school. In our example, we made it yellow with a brown roof. You can make your school with red brick, white painted wood or any other color you like.
