How to Draw an Empty Room

Step 1: A big box

Draw a big box that nearly fills your page, a bit wider than it is tall.

Tip This box is the open front of the room, where you stand.

Step 2: The back wall

In the very middle of the big box draw a box half as big, the same shape.

Tip Far away things look small, so the back wall is a smaller box.

Step 3: Four corner lines

Start at each corner of the big box. Draw a straight line in, stopping at the small box's nearest corner.

Tip Now you can see a floor, a ceiling and 2 side walls.

Step 4: A window

In the middle of the back wall draw a square window. Add a cross, starting and stopping on its edges.

Step 5: A door

Start on the left wall's floor line. Draw a tall door: up, slanting across, down. Stop on the floor line.

Tip The top of the door slants the same way as the ceiling line above it.

Step 6: Door knob

Draw a small round knob on the door, about half way up, near its far edge.

Step 7: Floorboards

Start on the back wall's bottom line. Draw 5 straight lines fanning out, stopping on the front edge.

Tip The gaps get wider as the boards come towards you.

Step 8: A bare bulb

Start at the middle of the top edge. Draw a short cord down and stop. Hang a round bulb there.

Step 9: Yellow and blue

Go over your lines. Colour the bulb and the knob yellow, and the window light blue.

Step 10: Pale back wall

Colour the back wall pale yellow around the window. Leave the ceiling white.

Step 11: Sandy side walls

Colour the 2 side walls a sandy colour. Go around the door.

Step 12: Wood floor

Colour the floor light brown, right up to the back wall.

Step 13: Brown door

Colour the door dark brown around its knob. Your empty room is done!

Tip Press a little harder on the door so it comes out darker than the floor.
