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.

How to Draw a Table

Start drawing the surface of the table.
Draw a quadrilateral with four straight lines, as shown in the figure.
Add side faces at the top of the table.
From the three ends of the drawn quadrilateral, draw three short straight lines.
Depict the bottom edges of the top of the table.
Now, you should connect the straight lines with two lines of different lengths.
Start drawing the legs of the table.
Draw two table legs using three straight vertical lines for each of them.
Sketch out the other two table legs.
Now you need to draw six more straight vertical lines as shown in the picture.
Finish drawing the legs of the table.
Connect the bottom ends of the straight lines you drew with straight lines of varying lengths.
Add elements at the bottom of the table.
Draw a few straight lines connecting the legs of the table as shown in the picture.
Correct inaccuracies.
Use the eraser to remove any unnecessary guidelines.
Color the drawing.
To color the table, I recommend you use different shades of brown.

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.
