How to Draw a Tent
Draw a tent in 10 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 tent.
Step 1: The tent
Near the top, draw a tall triangle tent: down to the right, across the bottom, back up to the point.
Step 2: The open door
From the point, draw 2 curved lines down to the bottom, one each side of the middle.
Step 3: The pole
From the point, draw a short pole straight up, stopping at a round knob.
Step 4: The flag
Just under the knob, draw a little pointy flag out to the right and back to the pole.
Step 5: The ground
From each bottom corner of the tent, draw the ground line out, stopping just before the edge of the paper.
Step 6: Two pegs
A little way out from each bottom corner, draw a short peg standing on the ground.
Step 7: The ropes
Low on each side, start on the tent edge and draw a rope out and down, stopping on the peg.
Step 8: Yellow flag
Go over your lines. Colour the flag and the knob on the pole yellow.
Step 9: Orange tent, dark doorway
Colour the tent orange and the doorway slate grey, because it is dark inside.
Step 10: Brown pegs
Colour the pegs brown, and your tent is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a tent, drawn by you.
