How to Draw a Cafe
Draw a cafe 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 cafe front.
Step 1: The cafe front
Draw a wide block. Add a roof ledge on top, starting at one top corner and ending at the other.
Step 2: The sign
High up draw a sign with a steaming cup inside. Start a C handle on the cup's side, ending lower.
Tip A cup on the sign tells everyone it is a cafe.
Step 3: The awning
Under the sign draw an awning: start low left, up, across and down. Join the ends with 6 bumps.
Step 4: The window
Under the awning on the left draw a big square window with a plus sign inside.
Step 5: The door
On the right draw a door from the bottom line, up, across, down to it. Add glass and a knob.
Step 6: A little table
On the left draw a table: an oval top, a leg down to the ground, and a cup on top.
Step 7: A menu board
Outside on the right draw a menu board: start on the ground, go up, across and down to the ground.
Step 8: Ground and grass
Draw the ground line from each bottom corner out to the edge. Add a tuft of grass beside each corner.
Step 9: Sky glass, white cups
Colour the window and door glass sky blue, leaving both cups white.
Step 10: Cream walls, wooden door
Colour the walls cream and the door, roof ledge and menu board wood brown, around the glass.
Step 11: Teal awning and sign
Colour the awning and the sign board teal, around the white cup. Go over your lines and you are done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a cafe, drawn by you.
