How to Draw a Hospital (Easy Step by Step)
A hospital is a friendly drawing made mostly from rectangles, with a heart on the tower to show that it is a place that cares for people. If you can draw a square with rounded corners, you can draw every window, and the door is just a tall shape with a curved top.

How to draw a hospital step by step
How to Draw a Hospital · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Building outline
Start at the bottom left and draw a line straight up, then across to the middle. Draw a smaller box shape sticking up for the tower, then go back down the right side to the bottom. Leave the bottom open.
Step 2: Top row of windows
Draw five little squares with soft, rounded corners in a straight row inside the building, near the top. Try to keep them the same size and spaced evenly.
Step 3: Bottom row of windows
Draw a second row of rounded squares below the first, but leave a gap in the middle. Two windows go on the left and two on the right.
Step 4: The front door
In the gap between the windows, draw a tall door shaped like an arch. Start at the bottom, go straight up, curve over the top, and come straight back down.
Step 5: The heart sign
In the middle of the tower, draw a heart. Start with a little dip at the top, curve out into two bumps, and bring both sides down to a point.
Step 6: Ground lines
Draw a long straight line across the bottom so the building sits on it, a little wider than the building. Then add a shorter line underneath for the ground.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a hospital
- Draw the top row of windows first and use it as a guide. Line up the bottom row underneath so everything looks neat.
- Leave a gap in the middle of the bottom row before you draw any windows. That space is saved for the door.
- For the heart, start with the little dip at the top, curve out into two bumps, and then draw the sides slowly down to the point.
