Draw a Box

Drawing a box is a very simple task to do. This article shows you how to draw a box.

Steps

  1. Draw a square. This makes the front of your box.
  2. Draw straight lines going up and right from all four corners of the square.
  3. Connect the 2 top extending lines. This makes the top of your box.
  4. Connect the 2 bottom extending lines. This makes the bottom of your box.
  5. Connect the top right extending corner to the bottom right extending corner. This makes the right side of your box.
  6. Connect the top left extending corner to the farthest bottom left corner. This finishes the outline of the box.
  7. Color the top of the box, the right side, and the side facing you if you don't want your box to be see-through.

Tips

  • If you want to be a little more artistic, put some words around it and/or little pictures such as Fragile or Handle With Care.
  • The inside of the box could be a little more interesting if you drew something in it, and in areas where there is nothing.
  • Try shading everything so that it looks realistic.
  • An easy method is to draw two boxes with the top right corner overlapping another squares bottom left corner to create a smaller square. Then just connect the corners. (bottom left corner to bottom left corner, top right corner to top left corner, etc...)
  • You can make it bigger and smaller, wider and thinner. Try different colors and shading. Experiment and see what you come up with!
