How to Draw a Dining Table

If you are learning how to draw, the first thing you need to learn is how to draw basic shapes such as rectangles, circles and so on. The second step is drawing basic 3-D shapes such as cubes, spheres and the like. The third step is learning how to draw basic objects. Dining tables are among these basic objects that those learning how to draw should learn to do and, if you have the basics down, it should be easy to draw a dining table.

Instructions

1

Draw a horizontal line that measures about 2 inches long across the center of a blank sheet of drawing paper. Draw with a pencil so that changes can be made easily.

2

Draw a line at a 45 degree angle, extending about 1 inch from one end of the horizontal line. Repeat this step on the opposite end of the line; both angled lines should be parallel to each other.

3

Draw another horizontal line to connect the two angled lines. You should now have what looks like a slanted rectangle. This will be the table top of your dining table drawing.

4

Draw a vertical line extending about 2 inches from each of the outside corners of the table top.

5

Draw a horizontal line a quarter inch below the bottommost line of the tabletop. This line should be of the same length as the line on the rectangle.

6

Draw a line at a 45 degree angle, parallel to the 45 degree angle line on the outside of the rectangle. This line should also be a quarter inch below the first angled line. You should now have a 3D table top with some lines still sticking down from three corners.

7

Draw a half-inch long line from the bottommost tip of one of the vertical lines, in toward the rectangle. Repeat this step on each of the other vertical lines at the other corners of the rectangle.

8

Draw a vertical line that goes from the rectangle, down to each of the half-inch horizontal lines. These will be the legs of the dining table.

9

Draw a quarter-inch line at a 45 degree angle from the innermost, bottom corner of each leg.

10

Draw a vertical line from the rectangle, down to the tip of the 45 degree angled line attached to each leg, this will give a three dimensional look to the dining table you just drew.
