How to Draw a Shop
Draw a shop 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 shop front.
Step 1: The shop front
Start low on the left. Draw a big wide block, stopping level with the start. Add a flat roof ledge.
Step 2: The sign board
High on the front, draw a long flat sign with a star in the middle and a dot each end.
Step 3: The awning
Under the sign, draw a strip with 5 bumps from one wall across to the other. Add 4 stripe lines.
Tip Awnings are striped like a stick of candy.
Step 4: The big window
Below the awning on the left, draw a wide window to the bottom. Add a middle line and a shelf.
Step 5: Things in the window
On the shelf and below it, draw things for sale, a few round things and little boxes in a row.
Step 6: The door
Below the awning on the right, draw a tall door to the bottom, with a square window and a knob.
Step 7: A hanging sign
From the right wall, draw a short straight arm. Hang a flat board from it on 2 short strings.
Step 8: Ground and plant
From the left edge, draw a ground line under the shop, out to the right edge. Add a potted plant.
Step 9: Cream walls, yellow signs
Colour the walls cream, around the sign, awning, window and door. Colour both signs yellow, around the star.
Step 10: Sky windows, green plant
Colour the windows sky blue and the plant leaf green.
Step 11: Red stripes, brown door
Colour the star and every other stripe red. Colour the door, ledge and pot brown, around the door window.

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a shop, drawn by you.
