How to Draw a Ticket Booth

13 steps · Medium · about 10 min

Draw a ticket booth 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 booth.

Step 1: The booth
In the middle of your paper draw a big box. Leave room above it for the roof and sign.
Tip Use the edge of a book to keep the sides straight.
Step 2: Sloping roof
Start at a top corner. Draw a roof wider than the box with sloping sides. Stop at the other corner.
Step 3: Roof stripes
Draw 6 lines down the roof, from its top edge to its bottom edge, fanning out a little.
Tip Space them evenly to make 7 stripes.
Step 4: Sign board
On top of the roof draw a wide box for the sign. Start and stop on the roof.
Tip Make it nearly as wide as the booth, so the word fits.
Step 5: Write TICKETS
Write TICKETS inside the sign in block capitals.
Tip Count the letters first: 7. Keep them small enough to fit.
Step 6: Ticket window
In the top half of the booth draw a wide window.
Tip Leave the same gap on the left and on the right.
Step 7: Counter shelf
From one bottom corner of the window draw a thin shelf sticking out both sides. Stop at the other corner.
Step 8: Speaking hole
Draw a circle in the middle of the window, for talking through.
Tip Tickets are sold through a window like this at a fair or a cinema.
Step 9: Bottom panel
Under the shelf draw a wide flat box on the front of the booth.
Step 10: The ground
Draw a straight ground line under the booth, a bit past each side.
Step 11: Yellow and sky blue
Go over your lines. Colour the sign and the round hole yellow. Colour the window sky blue around the hole.
Step 12: Red stripes
Colour every other roof stripe red, starting with the 2 end stripes. Leave the rest white.
Step 13: Teal and brown
Colour the booth teal around the window. Colour the shelf and the bottom panel brown.
