How to Draw a Space Station
Draw a space station 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 module.
Step 1: The module
In the middle of your paper, draw a chunky rounded box lying down, wider than tall, with big soft corners.
Step 2: Two big eyes
Inside the module, near the middle, draw 2 big egg eyes one eye apart. Add black dots and shines.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes, draw a wide U smile from eye to eye. Add a small oval cheek beside each end.
Step 4: Two beams
From the middle of each side of the module, draw a short thick bar going straight out.
Step 5: Solar wings
On the end of each bar, draw a big square with soft corners, a bit taller than the module.
Step 6: Wing squares
Draw a line across the middle of each wing and 3 lines down it, making a grid of little squares.
Step 7: Top capsule
Draw a small sideways capsule on the module. Near each end, draw a line from top to bottom.
Step 8: Earth below
Start at the left edge, low down. Draw a gentle rainbow curve across to the right edge for the Earth.
Step 9: Air around Earth
Just above the Earth, draw another gentle rainbow curve from the left edge to the right edge.
Step 10: Stars
Draw 4 little stars around the station, 2 up high and 2 down low.
Step 11: Yellow stars, pink cheeks
Colour the stars yellow and the cheeks pink. Leave the module, the capsule and the eyes white.
Step 12: Grey beams, sky band
Colour the 2 beams grey and the thin band above the Earth sky blue.
Step 13: Blue Earth, navy wings
Colour the Earth water blue and the solar wings navy around the grid lines. Your space station is in orbit!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a space station, drawn by you.
