How to Draw a Blanket Fort
Draw a blanket fort in 11 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the blanket.
Step 1: The blanket
In the middle of your paper, draw a big blanket: straight sides, soft corners, a top sagging in the middle.
Step 2: Chair backs
At each top corner, draw a tall thin chair back with a rounded top, standing just outside the blanket.
Tip The blanket hangs from two chairs.
Step 3: Seats and legs
Under each chair back, draw a flat seat, then 2 thin legs down to the floor with a rung.
Step 4: The floor
Draw the floor line right across the paper under the chair legs and the blanket.
Step 5: The doorway
In the middle, draw a tent doorway from the floor up to a point and back down to the floor.
Step 6: A pillow
Inside the doorway, on the floor, draw a puffy pillow with 4 little pointy corners.
Step 7: A flag
From the sag in the blanket top, draw a pole straight up to a round knob. Add a triangle flag.
Step 8: Polka dots
Draw 8 round dots scattered over the blanket, keeping out of the doorway.
Step 9: Yellow dots and flag
Colour the dots, the flag and its knob yellow.
Step 10: Wooden chairs, pink pillow
Colour the chair backs, seats and legs wood brown, and the pillow pink. Go over your lines.
Step 11: Blue blanket, dark doorway
Colour the blanket blue around the dots and doorway, and the doorway slate grey around the pillow. You're done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a blanket fort, drawn by you.
