How to Draw a Rubik’s Cube
Draw a Rubik’s cube 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: the front.
Step 1: The front
Left of the middle of your paper, draw a big square for the front, half the page wide.
Tip Four straight sides, all the same length.
Step 2: The top
Start at the top-left corner. Slant up a short way, go straight across, and slant down to the top-right corner.
Step 3: The side
From the top's far right corner, go down as tall as the square, then slant down to the bottom-right corner.
Step 4: Front grid
On the front, draw 2 lines straight down and 2 straight across, evenly spaced, to make 9 little squares.
Step 5: Top grid
On the top, draw 2 slanted lines the same way as the slanted edges, and 2 lines straight across.
Step 6: Side grid
On the side, draw 2 lines straight down, and 2 slanted lines across, the same way as the slanted edges.
Step 7: Table and shadow
Draw a flat oval shadow under the cube. From each end, draw a table line to the paper's edge.
Tip Keep the bottom of the cube right on the table line.
Step 8: Sparkles
Draw 3 small sparkle stars in the air around the cube: 4 dots in a plus, joined with dipping curves.
Step 9: Grey shadow, red front
Colour the shadow grey. Colour the front squares like a checkerboard: corners and middle red, the rest white.
Step 10: Blue and yellow top
Colour the top squares blue and yellow the same way.
Step 11: Green and orange side
Colour the side squares green and orange the same way. Go over your lines and your cube is done!

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a Rubik’s cube, drawn by you.
