Draw in 3D

3D drawings can make any drawing come to life. It may seem difficult but it is actually easier than it appears.

Steps

  1. Choose the object you would like to draw, sit in front of it or at an angle. This will make it easier to create your 3D drawing.
  2. First draw the base of the object and work your way up. Draw lightly at first so you can erase any unnecessary pencil marks later.
  3. Sketch the lines that will make up the pieces you can't completely see. At this point don't worry if they are completely visible in real life. They will help finish your drawing.
  4. Sketch in the rest of the object's frame. Move to a different angle if you need to see where some lines should go. Once you have finished the basic outline, erase any line you cannot actually see from the angle in which you are drawing.
  5. Trace over the outline in ink, and erase the pencil line after the ink has dried. Begin drawing the details in pencil, then retrace with ink. Once the ink is finished add the coloring and shading for the object.



Tips

  • Draw the line you will need to erase lighter than the line that will stay, so you can tell them apart.
