QuestionHow do I draw a 3D triangle?Community AnswerThere is no such thing. Now, if you mean a CONE, draw a sideways oval and then have two lines curve upward into a roof/triangle shape.

QuestionHow can I do it if I do not have graph paper but only lined paper?Corianna ChauncyCommunity AnswerThe idea is the same on any paper. The grid is only to help get the lines exact. If you struggle drawing it without a grid at first, you can use a ruler to draw one out.
