Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing the Sagrada Familia Church
How to Draw a Great Looking Sagrada Familia Church for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin the Sagrada Familia church outline by drawing a boomerang shape. Below it, extend pairs of curved lines. Let the lines diverge before coming together at a point, forming a diamond shape at the end. These are the unique arches at the front of the building. Draw short curved lines connecting the tops of the arches.
Drawing Step 2
2. Add detail behind the arches of the cartoon structure. Use straight lines to outline the zigzag shape of the building's base. Enclose arched windows and doors, banded with lines. Draw vertical lines upward from each corner, affording a three-dimensional appearance.

3. Draw zigzag lines to enclose an inverted "V" shape above the arches. Connect it to the arch structure using short lines, then trace a small cross on top.
Drawing Step 4
4. Use "U" shaped lines to draw arches between the two "V" shaped structures of the building. Then, extend pairs of curved lines upward, allowing them to meet in sharp points. This forms the church's spires. Draw a small circle at the top of each spire. Then, draw several curved lines between the middle spires.
Drawing Step 5
5. Shade small squares and long vertical rectangles along the front of the spires. Band the top of each spire with two curved lines.
Drawing Step 6
6. Draw smaller structures extending from the sides of the main building. For each structure, enclose a tall, pentagon-shaped front. Extend overlapping lines from the uppermost points, enclosing the roofs. Draw small rectangles on the fronts of the buildings, and shade small circles near the peak of each roof.
Drawing Step 7
7. Draw more towering spires on top of these structures. Extend lines upward to form two rows of pentagon shapes. Band some with horizontal lines.
