hi i'm alekowski and i'm an artist today i'm going to show you how to draw a 3d star we're going to start off by drawing a 2d version of our star so we're going to draw a diagonal line here and this side to make almost a triangle we're not going to finish off the bottom do a straight line across the side straight line on that side and come down dia...

Key Insights

• 🔯 Drawing a 3D star starts with creating a 2D version and adding a vanishing point for perspective.
• 🔯 Connecting the corners of the 2D star to the vanishing point helps establish depth in the drawing.
• 🙃 Erasing unnecessary lines and shading the sides adds the final touches to create a realistic 3D star.

Questions & Answers

Q: How do you start drawing a 3D star?

Start by drawing a 2D star shape with diagonal lines, leaving the bottom unfinished, and connect the corners.

Q: What is the purpose of the vanishing point?

The vanishing point helps determine the perspective in the drawing by providing a point of convergence for the corners of the star.

Q: Can you explain the process of creating the 3D effect?

After adding the vanishing point, connect each corner of the 2D star to it, and then draw parallel lines to create depth. Erase unnecessary lines and shade the sides for a 3D appearance.

Q: Can this technique be applied to other 3D shapes?

Yes, this technique works for all 3D shapes. Simply draw the 2D version, add a vanishing point, connect the corners, and create the 3D effect with parallel lines.

Summary & Key Takeaways

• Begin by drawing a 2D star shape with diagonal lines and connect the corners.

• Add a vanishing point to determine the perspective and connect the corners to it.

• Draw parallel lines to create the 3D effect, erase unnecessary lines, and shade the sides for a final 3D star.
