How to Draw a Yield Sign
Draw a yield sign 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: a big upside-down triangle.
Step 1: A big upside-down triangle
Near the top draw a long flat line. Slant a line down from each end to meet at a point.
Tip A yield sign is a triangle standing on its tip.
Step 2: The inside triangle
Inside it draw a smaller upside-down triangle, a finger in on every side, leaving a thick band round the edge.
Step 3: Y and I
Near the top of the inside triangle write a Y, then an I beside it. Make them tall.
Step 4: The E
Next to the I draw an E: an upright line with 3 short flat lines pointing right.
Step 5: L and D
Then draw an L and a D with a big round belly. Keep all 5 letters the same height.
Step 6: The pole
From the point of the triangle draw 2 close lines straight down, stopping low on the page.
Step 7: The base
Start low left of the pole. Draw a small flat box up, across and down, stopping level with the start.
Step 8: Ground and grass
Draw a ground line from edge to edge under the base. Add a grass tuft of 3 blades each side.
Step 9: Cloud and bird
Right of the sign draw a puffy cloud with 3 bumps. On the left draw a wide curvy v bird.
Step 10: Red band, white middle
Go over your lines. Colour the thick band red and leave the inside triangle white so the letters stand out.
Step 11: Slate pole, white cloud
Colour the cloud white, then colour the pole and its base slate grey.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a yield sign, drawn by you.
