How to Draw a Cube

Learn to Draw a Cube the Easiest Way Tutorial

If you wanna learn an easy way to draw a cube, then you clicked on the right link. Today I’m gonna turn my years of experience into an easy to follow tutorial that will teach you how to draw a cube in, like, 5 steps.

Step 1: Draw 3 Lines

When ever I’m drawing a cube, I start with 3 lines. All three should be parallel and the same length. Draw the middle line slightly lower than the outer lines.

Not super important, but…

Cubes have 6 sides that are all the same size. So, make sure you keep that in mind when your drawing your cube. Making the lines different lengths or distances apart can give you a different shape entirely.

Step 2: Connect the Bottom Lines

The next thing I usually do is draw the bottom of the cube. Draw two lines to make the bottom of the cube.

Step 3: Two More Parallel Lines

On the other side of the cube draw two more parallel lines.

Step 4: Give the Cube a Pointy Hat

The top of the cube kinda looks like a pointy hat. It’s basically a triangle without the bottom line.

It helps to sell the 3d illusion if you keep all the lines parallel.

Step 5: Details

Draw some seemingly random lines and dots. This gives a little bit of texture to our cube, and helps to give some visual interest.

Bonus Step: Color and Shade

Pick some cool colors. I went with blue and green (my fav colors).

Then you know the usual…

Pick a light source and keep it in mind when you do the shadows and highlights.

Oh wow!!! Your cube looks pretty good. I think you learned how to draw a cube, good job! Pretty soon you’ll be better than me.
