  • Question
    How do I draw a real rose?
    Community Answer
    Practice by printing out a picture of a rose or cutting one out of a magazine. Trace over the lines of the rose and then shade in the colors. Do this a few times and then try it on your own without the tracing.

      About This Article

      Article Summary X

      To draw a table, start by drawing a rectangular prism. Then, erase the lines inside of the outline of the prism and draw evenly-spaced vertical lines across the front. Next, draw evenly-spaced horizontal lines across the front of the prism to create a grid. Once you have the grid, use it to draw the legs of the table, which should extend down from each corner at the top of the prism. Finally, erase all of the unnecessary lines so you're left with just the tabletop and legs. To learn how to draw a table with a tablecloth over it, scroll down!
