How to Draw a Box

In one of the previous instructions, we showed how to draw a chest, and today we show how to draw a box. These two instructions are very similar in structure, but the current one will be much simpler. We depicted a closed cardboard box that looked like a cuboid (rectangular cube).

So, to begin the process of creating an artwork, you will need your favorite art set. You can draw a box with a pencil on paper, or with an electronic pen on a graphics tablet.

 

Step 1

First, depict the side surface of the box. In this stage, the side face of the box looks like an uneven rhombus. For maximum uniformity, you can use a ruler. But if you want to learn how to draw straight lines, try to do without a ruler.

Step 2

Now depict the second side surface of the box. Try to repeat the ratio of the side faces of the box, as did the artists of Easydrawingart.com in the artwork below.

Step 3

Let’s now form the top surface of the box. If you did everything right, then your sketch should look like a cuboid. To check the proportionality of your cube drawing, look at it through a mirror.

Step 4

So, dear readers of Easydrawingart.com, attention, now we will turn the cuboid into a box with one easy movement of the hand. To do this, depict a longitudinal line in the upper central part of the cuboid.

Step 5

Since we are drawing a cardboard box, we will paint it light brown. But you can paint the box in any other color. Also, do not forget to add shadows to make the box look three-dimensional.

The five simple stages of the instruction on how to draw a box are already behind. Using your knowledge, gleaned from this article, you can depict the box either separately or as part of a full-fledged artwork. For example, you can depict a warehouse with boxes, barrels and other relevant details.
