How to Draw a Gas Station
Draw a gas station in 12 easy steps, about 9 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 canopy.
Step 1: The canopy
Start near the top left. Draw a long, flat box across nearly the whole page. That's the canopy.
Tip The canopy is a big roof on posts so you stay dry.
Step 2: 2 posts
From under each end of the canopy draw a tall post straight down to the ground: 2 lines close together.
Step 3: The sign
Start on the canopy's middle. Draw a sign box up, across and down to the canopy. Add a circle.
Step 4: The pump
Draw a tall pump box under the canopy, then a round cap from one top corner, stopping on the other.
Tip The pump stands a little above where the ground will be.
Step 5: Screen and nozzle
Draw a screen. Start on the pump's right side, draw a nozzle with a spout, stop on the side.
Step 6: Hose and stripe
From the nozzle's spout draw a curvy hose down, stopping on the pump near the bottom. Add a stripe across.
Step 7: A second pump
Draw a second, shorter pump on the right like the first, from its cap down to its nozzle and hose.
Step 8: Ground and island
Draw the ground line edge to edge. Start on it, draw a low island under both pumps, stop on it.
Step 9: A cloud
In the top right draw a small puffy cloud: 4 bumps up and over, then 2 shallow bumps underneath.
Step 10: Yellow and sky
Colour the circle on the sign yellow and the screens sky blue.
Step 11: Grey pumps and posts
Colour the island stone grey. Colour the pumps, nozzles and posts grey, going around the screens.
Step 12: Red canopy, blue tops
Colour the canopy and sign red around the circle, and the pump tops blue. Your gas station is done!
