How to draw Spain

Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below

You can refer to the simple step by step drawing guide below

Step 1: Outline the shape of Spain

Start by drawing a rough outline of Spain’s shape on your paper. Use a pencil and light strokes to sketch the basic outline of the country. Spain is located in southwestern Europe and has a distinctive shape, with a large peninsula bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.

Step 2: Add the Balearic Islands

Spain includes several islands, with the Balearic Islands being among the most notable. Sketch the locations of the Balearic Islands (Majorca, Minorca, Ibiza, and Formentera) off the eastern coast of the mainland.

Step 3: Sketch the Canary Islands

Draw the locations of the Canary Islands (such as Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, etc.) off the southwestern coast of Spain. These islands are located in the Atlantic Ocean.

Step 4: Outline the coastline and borders

Refine the outline of Spain’s coastline and borders using your pencil and ruler. Pay attention to detail, especially around the northern coast, where Spain shares borders with France and Portugal.

Step 5: Add major cities and landmarks

Use your pencil to lightly sketch the locations of major cities and landmarks in Spain, such as Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Bilbao, and Granada. You can also include other notable landmarks like the Pyrenees mountains and the Strait of Gibraltar.

Step 6: Refine the details

Once you’re satisfied with the placement of the major features, use your pencil to add more detail to the map. This could include smaller cities, rivers, mountain ranges, and other geographic features.

Step 7: Finalize with markers or colored pencils (optional)

Go over your map with markers or colored pencils to add color and make it more visually appealing. Use different colors to distinguish between land, water, borders, and different regions of Spain.

Step 8: Erase any remaining pencil marks

Carefully erase any remaining pencil marks to clean up your map and make it look polished.

Step 9: Label key features (optional)

If you’d like, you can label the major cities, islands, rivers, and other landmarks on your map to make it more informative.

Step 10: Enjoy your completed map of Spain!

Step back and admire your finished map of Spain. You can use it for reference, decoration, or as a learning tool.
