How to Draw a Lemonade Stand

Lemonade stands are a potential business idea for kids in the summer.

Lemonade stands are a small business option for children who want to make a little extra money during the summer months. During the planning process or when drawing for personal enjoyment, drawing a lemonade stand is relatively easy. The stand is usually nothing more than a table with the lemonade set up and sometimes other food options.

Things You'll Need

• Reference pictures
• Ruler
• Pencil
• Paper

Instructions

1. Look at a reference picture or two. This will give you an idea of what a lemonade stand should look like. The appearances can differ slightly, such as having a sign at table level, a sign to the side or a sign hanging above, but the basics are usually similar.

2. Draw the basic outline of the lemonade stand table. Depending on the angle of the view, the exact appearance will differ. The top should form either a square or a rectangle and legs for the table should come out from there. Use a ruler to get straight and even lines.

3. Add a tablecloth if preferred. It is not necessary, but adding a tablecloth to the drawing will give a little texture. For example, add a plaid check pattern or draw a tablecloth which hangs down around the outline.

4. Draw a pitcher and some cups on top of the stand. A glass pitcher should have a line for where the lemonade is and some lemon wedges in it. The cups are usually not see-through, so it is not necessary to draw liquid in the cups unless the preferred look uses a see-through cup.

5. Write the words "lemonade stand" somewhere on the drawing. The exact location will depend on personal preferences. For example, write the words on a small sign to the side of the lemonade, draw two lines going up from the table and a rectangle with the words inside it or put a large sign to the side of the stand. Add color wherever you like.
