Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing the London Tower Bridge
How to Draw a Great Looking London Tower Bridge for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin the London Tower Bridge outline by drawing a rectangle. Draw a pair of vertical lines on each side of it. Connect each set at the top with a pair of curved lines. Then, enclose a triangle on top of each.
Next, draw a horizontal rectangle at the base of the tower. Then use straight and curved lines to enclose the irregular shape that is rectangular on top and a half-oval on the bottom.
Drawing Step 2
2. Draw another set of vertical lines connected by two curved lines with a triangle on top. Connect it to the first wall of the tower with a straight, diagonal line.
Draw two small squares and a pentagon on each side of the tower. Make the pentagons three-dimensional, like a house, using straight lines.
Above them, enclose a trapezoid and a triangle. Then, draw a pair of curved lines coming from the side of the tower. Erase as necessary.

Drawing Step 5

Draw a cross on top of each tower, then enclose two trapezoids at the base of the bridge to form a three-dimensional shape.

6. Use straight and curved lines to draw the irregular shape of the bridge and its footing on the opposite side of the river.
Texture the underside of the bridge with a checkerboard pattern, and the side with short lines.
Drawing Step 7
7. Draw the Tower of London on the opposite side, nearly identical to the bridge tower. Draw stacks of wide and narrow rectangles with triangles on top.
