  • Question
    Does it work the same with rectangles?
    Community Answer
    You can do the same thing for rectangles and any angular shapes (rhombus, pentagon, octagon) or similar shapes.
  • Question
    How do I draw a 3D triangle?
    Community Answer
    There 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.
  • Question
    How can I do it if I do not have graph paper but only lined paper?

    The 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.
