How to Draw a Playground

In this lesson, we will learn how to draw a playground with your drawing materials. We will consider the various sizes and shapes of each part of the playground. The new lines in each step is drawn in blue so you can easily see the current lines that you will be illustrating.

Time Needed: 30 minutes

1. Form The Beam Of The Seesaw

   

   Start by drawing a thin rectangular plank to form the beam of the seesaw. Then, attach the handles near the ends of the beam.

2. Draw The Base Of The Seesaw

   

   Now, draw two U-shaped lines on each side of the beam as shown. Add a small circle to outline the screw. Make sure to erase parts of the seesaw beam that overlap with the base.

3. Outline The Frame Of The Swing

   

   Form the thin outline of the swing’s frame.

4. Attach The Seats Of The Swing

   

   First, draw the rectangular shape of the seat. Then, attach the seat to the frame of the swing by drawing vertical lines.

5. Start Drawing A Slide

   

   Let’s add a slide to our playground by drawing a thin, curved shape.

6. Form The Center Of The Slide

   

   Form the center of the slide by drawing a wavy line.

7. Form The Other Side Of The Slide

   

   Draw a wavy line as shown to form the other side of the slide.

8. Draw The Slide Ladder

   

   Form horizontal rods to attach the slide’s ladder.

9. Complete The Playground Drawing

   

   Let’s add some color to our fun playground! First, use a blue crayon to color the frame of the swing and the middle of the slide. Next, use a red crayon to shade the sides of the slide and the base of the seesaw. Now, use a yellow crayon to color the seats of the swing, the slide ladder and the handles and screw on the seesaw. Then, use a brown crayon to color the seesaw beam and the ropes on the swing. Finally, use a light gray crayon to add some shadows. You can also add patches of grass using a green crayon.
