Draw an Elevator

Get ready to create your very own elevator drawing! This fun lesson will guide you through the process, and before you know it, you’ll have a fantastic picture on your paper. As you work, pay close attention to how the different shapes fit together. Notice how big or small they are compared to each other; this will help your drawing look just right. Gather your drawing tools, like paper and pencils, and let’s jump into this exciting project! You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to turn simple shapes into a cool elevator.

Time Needed: 45 minutes

1. Outline the Floor Indicator

   

   First, draw a rectangular outline for the floor indicator, which displays the current floor of the elevator.

2. Add the Floor Number

   

   Draw a triangular directional arrow to indicate whether the elevator is moving up or down. Then, write a floor number, such as “1,” to display the floor where the elevator is currently on.

3. Draw the Elevator Doors

   

   Create two upright rectangles to form the elevator doors. Use a ruler to create straight lines.

4. Add the Top Frame

   

   Add a thin, horizontal rectangle above the elevator doors to form the top frame.

5. Form the Side Frames

   

   Form tall side frames on both sides of the elevator door.

6. Outline the Wall

   

   Draw a horizontal line to outline the wall surrounding the elevator.

7. Add the Elevator Call Panel

   

   Add a small rectangular elevator call panel beside the elevator doors.

8. Draw the Buttons

   

   Draw two triangular buttons on the elevator call panel, one pointing up and one pointing down.

9. Color the Elevator Drawing

   

   First, use shades of gray for the elevator doors, frames, call panel, and the frame of the floor indicator. Next, fill in the floor indicator panel with black and its display with green. Also, use green for the buttons on the elevator call panel. Then, paint the wall and floor in any color of your choice.
