How to Draw a Warehouse
Draw a warehouse in 12 easy steps, about 9 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 long box.
Step 1: The long box
A little left of the middle draw a long low box for the warehouse, much wider than it is tall.
Step 2: The roof ledge
On top of the box draw a long thin flat ledge that sticks out a little past each side.
Step 3: The big roller door
Draw a big middle door from the bottom line up, across, and down to the bottom. Add 5 shutter lines.
Step 4: High windows
High up, above the door, draw 3 small flat windows in a row, each with a line down the middle.
Step 5: A little side door
Left of the big door draw a small door standing on the bottom line, with a round knob.
Step 6: The ground line
From each bottom corner draw a flat ground line going out, short on the left and long on the right.
Step 7: Two crates
On the long ground line at the right, stack 2 square crates and draw an X on each.
Step 8: The sun
Draw a round sun with 8 short rays in the top right.
Step 9: A cloud
Draw a puffy cloud up in the middle: a row of bumps over the top and 2 flatter bumps underneath.
Step 10: Yellow sun, blue windows
Colour the sun yellow and the 3 windows sky blue.
Step 11: Orange doors, grey walls
Colour both doors orange, then colour the walls grey around the doors and windows.
Step 12: Wood crates, slate ledge
Colour the crates wood brown and the roof ledge slate. Go over your lines, and your warehouse is done!

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