14 steps · Medium · about 11 min

Draw an office 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 desk top.

Step 1: The desk top
Across the right side of your paper draw a long flat plank with soft corners.
Tip Leave the left third of the page empty for the chair.
Step 2: Box and leg
Under the plank's right end draw a tall box. Under its left end draw a thin leg.
Tip Both go down to the same height, where the floor will be.
Step 3: The computer screen
Above the desk draw a big soft box with a smaller box inside it for the screen.
Step 4: Screen stand
Under the screen draw a short neck down to a flat foot standing on the desk.
Step 5: Two drawers
On the box draw 2 soft drawer fronts, one above the other. Add a small handle on each.
Step 6: A mug
On the desk's right end draw a small cup. Add a C handle, starting and stopping on its side.
Step 7: Chair back and seat
Left of the desk draw a soft box with a round top, a tiny neck, then a long flat seat.
Tip The seat is a little wider than the back.
Step 8: Stem, legs, wheels
From the seat draw a stem down to a wheel. Add 2 spreading legs with a wheel on each.
Step 9: The floor
Start near the left edge and rule a floor line to near the right edge, under the wheels.
Step 10: Wall clock
High on the wall above the chair draw a circle inside a circle. Add 2 hands from the middle.
Step 11: Blue screen, tan drawers
Colour the screen sky blue. Colour the 2 drawer fronts tan, going around the handles.
Step 12: Red and blue
Colour the mug and the clock's rim red, leaving its face white. Colour the chair back and seat blue.
Step 13: Wood desk
Colour the plank, the leg and the box around the drawer fronts wood brown.
Step 14: Dark grey parts
Colour the screen's frame and stand, the handles and the chair's stem, legs and wheels dark grey. Done!
