About This Article
To draw a table, start by drawing a rectangular prism. Then, erase the lines inside of the outline of the prism and draw evenly-spaced vertical lines across the front. Next, draw evenly-spaced horizontal lines across the front of the prism to create a grid. Once you have the grid, use it to draw the legs of the table, which should extend down from each corner at the top of the prism. Finally, erase all of the unnecessary lines so you're left with just the tabletop and legs. To learn how to draw a table with a tablecloth over it, scroll down!
