Drawing of a Barn
When students learn how to draw a barn, just a few special details can make their drawing look much more like the real thing.
Start with the roof, which has that familiar bend that gives a classic barn its shape. Next, place the windows up high, leaving plenty of room below for all the hay, animals, and equipment that might be stored inside. And finally, add a large X across the double doors—a simple detail that instantly makes the building look like a barn.
Put them all together, and students have a barn that’s easy to draw, easy to recognize, and ready to be added to all kinds of farm scenes!
I love that the most traditional barns are bright red, as they just make such a colorful drawing. And while this is a 2-D tutorial, you can see in the drawing that drawing two sides of the building adds depth and makes it look more realistic.
