How to Draw a Bridge: Step-by-Step for Kids

A stone arch bridge is one of the easiest bridges to draw: a flat walkway on top and a big curved opening underneath for the water.

What You'll Need

  • Pencil (HB or 2B)
  • Eraser
  • White drawing paper
  • Black marker for the outline
  • Grey and blue pencils
  • Coloured pencils or crayons

Step-by-Step: Drawing a Bridge

Step 1: Draw the walkway

Draw a long, slightly curved line across the page for the top of the bridge. Draw a second line just below it.

Step 2: Add the side walls

On each side of the walkway, draw a low wall with small rectangles along the top.

Step 3: Draw the main arch

Under the walkway, draw a large half circle in the middle, like a tunnel for water.

Step 4: Add smaller arches

On each side of the big arch, draw a smaller half circle.

Step 5: Draw the stone blocks

Draw short horizontal and vertical lines to make a brick pattern over the walls and arches.

Step 6: Add the river

Below the bridge, draw wavy horizontal lines for water flowing through the arches.

Step 7: Add the banks

On each side, draw sloping banks with grass and a few bushes.

Step 8: Outline and erase

Trace with a marker and erase the pencil.

Colouring Your Bridge

Colour the stones grey and brown, using a darker shade in the arches and along the bottom. Use blue for the water and green for the grass.

Tips for Drawing a Bridge

  • Make all the arches half circles. A flat arch looks weak.
  • Stagger the bricks. Each row should start halfway across the block above.
