Draw a Bed

This tutorial you will show you how to draw beds in 2-D and 3-D.

Steps

A Simple Single Bed

  1. Sketch a horizontal line.
  2. Add 2 dots near each corner of the line as the vanishing point.
  3. Sketch a basic shape of the bed by using lines originating from the vanishing points. Add the vertical lines for the corner of the bed.
  4. Add headboard of the bed by following the same rules.
  5. Add the other basic details like the area of the mattress.
  6. Draw the basic outline of the bed. Add pillows and other parts of the bed.
  7. Erase the draft lines and add more details of the bed like creases and bed features.
  8. Color the bed.

A Queen-sized Bed

  1. Sketch a long horizontal line and a long vertical line forming a cross.
  2. Same rules as the previous method, sketch a basic shape of the bed by using lines originating from the vanishing points. Add the vertical lines for the corner of the bed.
  3. Sketch legs of the bed using the same rules.
  4. Add the other basic details such as the design of the mattress cover and pillows.
  5. Draw the basic outline of the bed.
  6. Erase the draft lines and then add more details of the bed like creases on the pillow and the mattress.
  7. Color the bed.

A Two-Dimensional Bed

  1. Draw five horizontal lines, {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}} apart except for the last two lines which is only half an inch apart.
  2. Draw two vertical lines on each end of the horizontal lines.
  3. Highlight a square as the head board of the bed on the left corner, draw a circle on top as part of the design. Draw the same on the foot part of the bed, making it a little bit shorter than that of the head board.
  4. Draw a pillow and a blanket.
  5. Draw a mattress and erase unnecessary lines.
  6. Colour as desired.

A Three-Dimensional Bed

  1. Draw five horizontal lines, {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}} apart except for the last two lines which is only half an inch apart. Mark a dot on the upper left side of your drawing to serve as a vanishing point.
  2. Draw three vertical lines. Make the first two closer and the last line farther on the right.
  3. Starting from the vanishing point, draw six slanted lines that will intersect on the horizontal and vertical lines you have drawn earlier. Mark each intersection with a corresponding letter from A to F only to serve as your guide later.
  4. Draw a horizontal line connecting point G to point H.
  5. Make a three dimensional rectangle connecting the points you have made earlier. Using the vanishing point as a guide, connect point G to point A, point I to point E, point H to point F. Draw vertical lines connecting point G to I, A to E and F to J.
  6. Trace three slanted lines from the vanishing point to points B, C, and D.
  7. Draw another vertical line connecting point 1 with 2. Trace another slanted line to connect point 2 with point 3.
  8. Draw an outline of the frame of your bed using vertical lines on each four corners.
  9. Add details of the frame using slender rectangles and a circle on top. As for the head board, draw a curved line.
  10. Draw a pillow and a blanket.
  11. Erase all unnecessary lines.
  12. Add colour as desired.
