How to Draw a Hotel
Draw a hotel in 13 easy steps, about 10 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 tall block.
Step 1: The tall block
In the middle of your paper draw a tall block, much taller than it is wide.
Tip A hotel is tall, with lots of windows for lots of rooms.
Step 2: Ledge and sign
On top of the block draw a flat ledge poking out each side. On it draw a sign box.
Step 3: The hotel name
Write HOTEL in big capital letters across the sign.
Step 4: The front doors
At the bottom, in the middle, draw a wide door. Draw a line down the middle to make 2 doors.
Step 5: A canopy
Start on the wall above the doors. Draw a canopy out and back in to the wall. Add 2 posts.
Step 6: Three rows of windows
Draw 3 rows of 3 square windows across the top of the block, like a grid.
Step 7: Two more windows
Draw 1 more window on each side above the canopy.
Step 8: A flag
Start near the ledge's left end. Draw a pole straight up, taller than the sign. Add a flag.
Step 9: Ground, tree and suitcase
Draw the ground. From it draw a trunk up to a bumpy tree top. Add a suitcase on the right.
Step 10: A cloud
High on the right draw a small puffy cloud: 3 bumps over the top and a flat bottom.
Step 11: Tan walls, sky windows
Colour the block and the ledge tan, going round the windows, canopy and doors. Colour every window sky blue.
Step 12: Red sign, green tree
Colour the canopy, sign and flag red. Colour the bumpy tree top green.
Step 13: Brown case, navy doors
Colour the trunk and suitcase brown and the doors navy blue. Go over your lines and your hotel is done!
