Basic Information on How to Draw a Table

This drawing shows a very simple table model, which is the most common one. Such a small table can be placed in the living room or kitchen. Before you learn how to draw a table, I will ask you to visualize this object in your mind. The table has a rectangular shape and stands on four thin legs.

In the drawing, the table is depicted from such an angle that the top of the table and all four legs are clearly visible. In your work, you can use a ruler to accurately depict all parts of the table, or you can draw all the lines yourself, thereby improving your artistic skills.

Focus on drawing the top of the table, which in my example has the shape of a quadrangle. Here you must maintain perspective so that the table in your drawing looks realistic. Also, be careful when drawing the table legs and try to correctly depict the length of each leg.

Another Technique for Drawing a Table

For practice, I have prepared for you an alternative way of drawing a table. This is also a simple instruction, consisting of 7 easy steps.

How to Draw a Simple Table

This method is not much different from the basic method of drawing a table. Just notice that in this drawing the top of the legs are wider and taper towards the bottom. For this purpose I chose a dark color. By drawing this table you will improve your skills.

Final Touches

You can practice further and change your drawing. For example:

• If you draw short legs, you will get a small coffee table
• If you give the table legs a curved shape, you will get an antique table
• You can draw a vase, cup, plate or other objects on the table
• Try working with color. The color of the table can be monochromatic or contain uneven lines that imitate the texture of wood.

During the drawing process, you can return to the description and again revise those points that cause you difficulty. This way you will avoid mistakes and develop your attentiveness.
