Draw Israel
Do you want to learn how to draw the State of Israel? A small country; its borders can be quite complex and may be difficult to draw exactly, but with the help of this article it will not require a great effort.
Steps
- Take out a blank piece of paper.
- Draw a curved and slanting line, and draw a hook approximately one third from the top of the curved line. What you just drew is the coastline.
- Draw Lake Galilee. It is almost a triangle (but not quite one) with one point facing west. Draw the Dead Sea about 2 inches (5 cm) south of Lake Galilee. The Dead Sea is an elongated oval, and on the lower eastern shore, there is a curve coming inward.
- Draw the Jordan River. The Jordan River is a line that isn't completely straight, between Lake Galilee and the Dead Sea. Draw the part of the Jordan River that is north of Lake Galilee by drawing a straight line about 3/4 of an inch.
- Continue drawing the coastline. Slightly south-west of the Dead Sea is where you will find the southern part of the coastline. Where the coastline ends in the south, draw one straight line to the south-east. The straight line should be about 4 1/2 inches long. Where it ends, draw a line that goes about 1/2 of a centimeter to the east.
- Draw a wiggly line that moves north-east until it hits the Dead Sea.
- On the northern part of the coastline, draw a line moving to the east 1 and 1/2 centimeters.
- Draw a line curving south-east. Then it will turn north-east. Draw a straight line moving south-east.
- Draw a line moving straight to the north-east, and then draw a line moving south-east 2 inches. Then draw a line that is attached to the line that you just drew, that hits the end of Lake Galilee. You just drew the Golan Heights. The shape of Israel is now complete.
- Draw the Gaza Strip. Draw a line coming out of the southern part of the coastline one inch, and draw a line moving south-west from there until it hits the Israel's border.
- Draw the West Bank. It will be very difficult to explain how to draw that, so just follow the picture. This step is optional.
- Fill in the names of the cities and towns. This step is optional.
- Draw the surrounding seas (Red Sea, Mediterranean Sea), and the surrounding countries (Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, and Lebanon).
Tips
- You don't need to fill in the names of the cities and towns, and you don't need to draw the surrounding seas and countries.
- Israel has a very complex shape considering its size.
- Jerusalem is the capital of the State of Israel.
