LESSON 8 3-D to 2-D

Drawing a Cube

You can use geometry to help you learn to draw a cube. Studying the edges, faces, and vertices of a cube will help you draw what you see when you look at a cube. A cube is a box that has six faces. All the edges of a cube are the same length.
  1. Here are 3 sketches of a cube. Which look like a cube? Which do not? Explain your choice.
  2. Using what you have learned, try to draw a cube.

Use either of these two methods to practice drawing a cube. You can also come up with a method of your own.

Drawing a Cube by Showing Three Faces

Step 1 Draw a square for the front face.

Step 2 Draw three small, parallel lines going back from the top corners and one side corner. These lines must be the same length.
