Nowadays, everyone is paying attention to 3D. However, there is a missing piece in the puzzle: the 2D art. Drawing in 2D requires a good knowledge of 2d shapes (square, triangle, circle, ... etc). These are the keys for your drawing!

  1. Draw in 2D Step 01.jpg
    1
    Practice drawing the simple shapes first. This includes squares, rectangles, circles, triangles, ... etc. This doesn't include cylinders, pyramids, cubes, cones, ... etc.
  2. Draw in 2D Step 02.jpg
    2
    If you are going to draw an object that you are looking at, look at the surface level of the object. You should now see a 2D version of it.
  3. Draw in 2D Step 03.jpg
    3
    What you saw in step 2 is a figure that is made up of a number of simple shapes. In our case, you saw a table that is made up of four rectangles (look at the picture). If you are a beginner, draw them one by one. If you can, however, draw the three rectangles at once (as a closed shape).

EditTips

  • It is easier to draw a 2D REAL scene (in front of you) instead of an imaginary scene EXCEPT if you mastered these steps, as you will be able to imagine how objects look like in 2D.
  • Some objects can have more than one 2D view. For example, a car. A car can be seen from front as a narrow view, or from one of its sides as a long view. When facing such an object, it depends on your scene's need.
