How to Draw a 3D Pyramid
Draw a 3D pyramid in 11 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: point and front face.
Step 1: Point and front face
Start at a point near the top. Draw a line down left, along the bottom, and back to the point.
Tip A pyramid has a point on top and flat sloping faces.
Step 2: The side face
From the point draw another line down to the right, further out. Join it to the front face's bottom corner.
Tip Now you can see 2 faces, so the pyramid looks solid.
Step 3: Two big eyes
In the lower middle of the front face draw 2 BIG egg eyes. Add a black dot with a shine.
Step 4: A big smile
Under the eyes draw a big wide U smile from eye to eye, ends turning up.
Step 5: Rosy cheeks
Beside each end of the smile, leaving a small gap, draw a small sideways oval cheek.
Step 6: Sparkles on the left
On the left of the pyramid draw 2 sparkle stars, one higher and one lower.
Step 7: Sparkles on the right
Draw 2 more sparkle stars on the right to match.
Step 8: Shadow and floor
Draw a flat oval shadow round all 3 bottom corners. Add a floor line out from each side of it.
Step 9: Pink cheeks, yellow front
Colour the cheeks pink. Colour the front face and the 4 sparkles yellow, around the face. Leave the eyes white.
Step 10: Grey shadow
Colour the shadow under the pyramid grey.
Step 11: Ginger side face
Colour the side face ginger orange so the pyramid looks solid. Your 3D pyramid is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a 3D pyramid, drawn by you.
