Draw a Octagonal Based Pyramid

Many pyramids are easy to draw, but the octagonal based pyramid is very difficult if you do not know how to draw it. This article will show you how.

Steps

  1. Draw an Octagon. An Octagon is a polygon that has eight sides. For help, see the graphic.
  2. Draw a single point above the octagon. This point will determine the height of your octagonal-based pyramid. It will be the peak of the octagonal-based pyramid.
  3. Draw lines from every intersection. On every intersection of the eight sides of the octagon, draw a straight line connecting the octagon to the "peak" point. Connect all of the lines leading to the same point to create a complete pyramid.
  4. Finished.
