How to Draw a Suitcase
- Depict the side contours.
Draw three evenly spaced vertical lines on your paper, ensuring they are parallel to each other and stand straight, like guards, to set the framework for your suitcase.
- Add the top and bottom outline.
Depict two horizontal lines at both the top and the bottom of your suitcase drawing, parallel to the edges of your paper, to create the boundaries of your suitcase’s structure.
- Draw the corners of the suitcase.
Connect the vertical lines from previous steps with curved lines on each corner, creating the rounded edges of the suitcase for a three-dimensional effect.
- Sketch the legs.
At the base, carefully draw three short, curved lines to represent the wheels or feet, making sure they’re equally spaced to give your suitcase balance and a ready-to-roll look.
- Depict the wheels.
For each of the legs you’ve drawn, draw the small wheel at the end, ensuring they are round and similar in size, to give your suitcase mobility and a realistic touch.
- Start drawing the handle.
At the top of the suitcase, draw several vertical lines close together to create the base of the handle, ensuring they are aligned and evenly spaced to depict the handle’s attachment points accurately.
- Add the handle.
To form the handle at the top, draw two long, curved lines upward from the base and then connect them with a horizontal line to shape the comfortable grip of the handle.
- Detail the side of the travel bag.
Around the top and side edges, gently draw a continuous, smooth line that curves around the corners, outlining the suitcase’s silhouette for a finished, polished look.
- Color your suitcase drawing.
Let’s bring your travel bag to vibrant life by coloring it: fill the body with a sunny yellow, shade the wheels in a soft pink, and use a sky blue for the extending handle, creating a cheerful color scheme.
