Do you want to learn how to draw a hexagonal-based prism? This article will teach you how to make any kind of prism easily!

Steps

Draw a hexagon.
Add vertical lines.
- For every visible corner, draw a straight vertical line.
Finish the base.
- Connect the end of the vertical lines to finish the prism base.
You now have your solid prism.
Color some details to make it look 3D.
- Add some shadings and lighting.
- Add a shadow opposite to your light source.

Draw a hexagon.
- This will be your hexagon’s top base.
Add another hexagon.
- The second hexagon will be your prism’s lower base. They should mirror one another.
Connect the lines.
- Connect each corner of the top hexagon to the bottom hexagon.
- Knowing this technique will help you make 3D prisms of any figure.
The final line art.
- For added effects, make the lines on the back a bit lighter. They should look like they’re hidden from view.
Color your prism.

Draw a polygon: this works with any shape you can think of like: a square, triangle, pentagon, octagon,hexagon or a decagon. A hexagon is used here.
Draw an overlapping polygon, roughly the same size and shape. In fact, if you are in a computer drawing program just copy and paste your first shape right next to it.
Connect all the corners of the first shape to the congruent corner of the other shape.
