Basic Information on How to Draw a Door

Now you will learn how to draw a door in the easiest way, and you will be able to use these skills in the future. Any door has the shape of a rectangle. There are many door models that may contain various decorative elements. In our picture you see a door on which there are several rectangular elements arranged symmetrically.

In your work, you can use improvised tools or draw all the lines yourself. I recommend you the second option, because this way you will train your ability to draw straight lines. I also recommend reading our articles on how to do shading and how to hold a pencil correctly while working, this will be useful for you.

First you will draw the outer outline of the door, and then you will add the remaining elements of the door leaf. Follow this principle when drawing other similar objects. That is, you must immediately determine the size of the drawing and indicate its boundaries, and then gradually add details.

In this drawing, at the top of the door leaf there is an insert consisting of four rectangular windows. This insert is usually made of frosted glass and serves as a decorative element.

This tutorial uses simple geometric shapes and straight lines. Try to carefully draw all the elements to get an excellent result.
