Step-by-Step: Drawing a Taj Mahal

Step 1: Draw a centre line and the base

Draw a very light vertical line down the middle of the page. Draw a wide flat rectangle across the bottom for the platform.

Step 2: Draw the main building

On the platform, draw a large rectangle centred on the line.

Step 3: Add the central arch

In the middle of the rectangle, draw a tall pointed arch. Add a smaller arch on each side.

Step 4: Draw the main dome

On top of the building, draw a large onion-shaped dome that is wider in the middle. Add a thin spire on top.

Step 5: Add the small domes

On each side of the main dome, draw a smaller dome on a short base.

Step 6: Draw the four minarets

At the outer corners, draw four tall thin towers. Give each a small domed cap.

Step 7: Add the reflecting pool

In front, draw a long narrow rectangle in perspective, wider at the bottom, with a few straight lines across.

Step 8: Outline and erase

Trace with a marker and erase the centre line and the guide lines.

Colouring Your Taj Mahal

Leave the building white or a very pale cream, with light grey shading on one side. The sky is light blue, the garden is green and the reflecting pool is blue.

Tips for Drawing a Taj Mahal

  • Check both sides match. Fold the page in half to see if the halves line up.
  • The minarets should all be the same height. Use a ruler if you can.
