Do you want to learn how to draw a prism with a hexagon base? This article will teach you how to easily draw various kinds of prisms!
Step
Method 1 of 3: Solid Prisms
Step 1. Draw a hexagon
Step 2. Add vertical stripes
For each visible corner, draw a straight vertical line
Step 3. Finish the base
Connect the ends of the vertical lines to complete the base of the prism
Step 4. Now you have your solid prism
Step 5. Color some details to make them appear 3D
- Add some shadows and light.
- Add the opposite shadow from your light source.
Method 2 of 3: Transparent Prisms
Step 1. Draw a hexagon
This will be the base of your hexagon
Step 2. Add another hexagon
The second hexagon will be the base of your lower prism. They should be a reflection of each other
Step 3. Connect the lines
- Connect each corner of the top hexagon to the bottom hexagon.
- Knowing this technique will help you create a 3D prism with any figure.
Step 4. Final outline
For an added effect, make the lines in the back a little thinner. They must appear to be hidden from view
Step 5. Color your prism
Method 3 of 3: Basic Hexagon Prisms
Step 1. Draw the polygon:
This can be in any shape you can think of: square, triangle, pentagon, hexagon, octagon or tenth. Hexagons are used here.
Step 2. Draw overlapping polygons, roughly the same shape and size
In fact, if you're using a computer drawing program, just copy and quote your first shape right next to it.
Step 3. Connect all the corners of the first shape to the corners of the other congruent shapes
Tips
- Color or shade in your image if you like!
- This can be any polygon you can draw -- including letters!
- If you don't use a computer program, use a ruler.
