How to Draw the Space Needle
Draw the Space Needle 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 saucer.
Step 1: The saucer
Near the top of the page, draw a long flat oval, like a plate seen from the side.
Step 2: Window band
Start on the saucer's bottom. Draw a short band down, across and back up to it, narrower at the bottom.
Step 3: The skirt
From the band's bottom corners, slope 2 lines in and down, then join them with a short flat line.
Step 4: Hourglass legs
From under the skirt, draw 2 thin legs, pinched together high up and spreading wide to the ground.
Step 5: Roof and spire
From the saucer, draw a low pointed roof, back down to it. Add a tall thin spire on top.
Step 6: Windows
Draw 5 short lines down the band, from the saucer to the skirt, for the windows.
Step 7: The ground
Draw the ground line across under the legs. Add a bush each side, starting and stopping on the ground.
Step 8: Clouds
Draw a puffy cloud each side of the tower: low on the left, high on the right.
Step 9: Cream legs
Colour both legs cream. Leave the clouds white.
Step 10: Sky windows
Colour the window band sky blue.
Step 11: Orange top, green bushes
Colour the saucer, roof and skirt orange and the bushes green. Go over your lines and you're done!
