You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
Start by drawing a long, 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 using two vertical lines. This forms the front wall of the building.
Step 3
Build 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 overlapping the eaves. This will form the bottom part of the overhang. From the overhang, extend four sets of straight, vertical, parallel lines downward. Center lines must extend to the end of the school and outside lines must extend to the outside of the school’s foundation. Then, enclose each set of lines by drawing a small rectangle. These lines form columns that support the overhang.
Step 5
Erase guides from overhangs.
Step 6
Place a rectangle above the overhang, with a smaller rectangle inside. Then, place a large triangle above the rectangles and draw a smaller triangle inside it. This completes the roof of the overhang. Erase guide lines as necessary.
Step 7
Enclose a rectangle extending up from the foundation, between the columns. Then, draw two parallel, narrowly spaced, vertical lines in the middle of the rectangle. This forms the door of the school. Draw a narrow, horizontal rectangle across the top of the door. Next, draw multiple windows of the field. For each window, use three lines to enclose a square, leaving the top exposed. Enclose the top with a curved line, creating an arched window. Draw a pair of perpendicular lines through each window.
Step 8
Draw a clock inside the triangular top of the overhang. Begin by drawing a circle, with a “V” shaped line inside to represent the hands of a clock. Then, write “SCHOOL” on the front of the overhang.
Step 9
Detail the roof with straight 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 indicate the horizon, and a pair of diverging diagonal lines to create a path to the front door of the field.
Step 10
Color your school. In our example, we made it yellow with a brown roof. You can make the school out of red bricks, white painted wood or any other color you like.
