How to Draw Bleachers

14 steps · Medium · about 11 min

Draw bleachers in 14 easy steps, about 11 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 front seat.

Step 1: The front seat
Near the bottom left, draw a long thin plank, much wider than tall. This is the front seat.
Tip Leave room above and to the right for 3 more rows.
Step 2: The seat top
From its top corners, draw 2 short slants up to the right. Join them with a long line.
Tip Every slant leans the same way and is the same length.
Step 3: Under the seat
Under the plank draw a box down to the floor. Start a little in from the plank's left end.
Step 4: The second row
On the seat's back edge, draw the same again: a box, a plank on it and a slanted top.
Step 5: The third row
Stack one more box, plank and slanted top above, set back the same way.
Step 6: The top row
Draw the last box, plank and slanted top. Now 4 rows climb up like big steps.
Step 7: The side
Start at the top seat's back corner. Draw straight down, then slant down to the front row's bottom corner.
Step 8: The frame
On the side, draw a post straight down from each inside corner. Add 2 slanted braces between posts.
Step 9: Foot boards
Along the middle of each slanted top, draw a long line. In front is the seat, behind is for feet.
Step 10: The back rail
From the top row's back edge, draw 7 posts straight up, evenly spaced. Join their tops with one long bar.
Step 11: The ground
Draw a ground line under the front row, from one edge of your paper to the other.
Step 12: Wooden seats
Colour the 4 seat boards and their front edges light brown.
Step 13: Grey metal
Colour the foot boards behind each seat and the stepped side light grey.
Step 14: Dark fronts
Colour the front under each seat dark grey. Go over your lines. Your bleachers are done!
