Let’s get started!
Step 1. Drawing the First Face
Start by drawing a single, large, rounded-corner quadrilateral (like a tilted diamond or a square in perspective) in the center-right of the canvas.
Step 2. Adding the Second Face
Add a second rounded-corner quadrilateral, slightly smaller and oriented differently, to the left of the first one to create the side face.
Step 3. Drawing the Bottom Face
Add a third, smaller rounded-corner quadrilateral below the first two, connecting their lower points to form the bottom face of the die.
Step 4. Refining the Edges
Refine the shape by adding small, subtle curved lines to the very outer corners, connecting the existing faces and defining the overall rounded-cube form.
Step 5. Drawing the First Pip
On the larger right-hand face, draw a single oval shape near the center.
Step 6. Adding Two More Pips
On the left-hand side face, draw two additional oval shapes in a diagonal line.
Step 7. Drawing the Final Three Pips
On the bottom face, draw three more oval shapes in a diagonal line across the face.
Step 8. Coloring the Finished Die
Color the faces of the die in a light off-white or cream color. All the oval pips are colored black, as are all the main outlines. Fill the recessed curved edges and the small gaps between the faces with a light grey color to create depth and shadow.
Step 1: Establish the Top Face
Start by drawing a single diamond shape (rhombus) skewed to represent the top face of the first die in isometric perspective.
Step 2: Add the Left Vertical Face
From the two lowest corners of the top diamond, draw two parallel vertical lines descending. Connect the bottom ends of these lines with a horizontal line parallel to the bottom-left edge of the top diamond. This establishes the left face of the foreground die.
Step 3: Complete the First Cube Structure
Draw a third vertical line descending from the right-most corner of the top diamond. Connect the bottom point of this new line to the lowest point established in the previous step, creating the lower edges of the die’s right face and completing the basic cube structure.
Step 4: Begin the Background Die
Start drawing the second die positioned behind and slightly above the first. Draw a skewed rectangle (slanted parallelogram) to create the left vertical face, extending upwards and backwards from the top edge of the foreground die.
Step 5: Add the Top Face to the Background Die
Draw a skewed diamond shape directly on top of the parallelogram drawn in the previous step to define the top face of the background die.
Step 6: Finalize basic structures
Add the final descending vertical line and a connecting bottom edge to the right-hand side of the second die to complete its structure. You should now have two overlapping cubes.
Step 7: Add Pips to the First Die
Draw the pip patterns (dots) on the visible faces of the foreground die: three dots arranged diagonally on the left face, three dots arranged diagonally on the top face, and six dots (two columns of three) on the right face.
Step 8: Add Pips to the Second Die
Add pips to the background die: five dots arranged in a standard ‘X’ pattern on the left face, six dots (two columns of three) on the top face, and a single dot on the small visible portion of the right face. This completes the line work.
Step 9: Final Coloring
To complete the drawing, fill the entirely of both dice structures (all six visible faces) with solid, bright red color. Fill all the drawn pips (dots) with solid black, and ensure all structural outlines are defined by clean black lines.
Step 1: Initial Front Face Structure
Start by drawing a simple, tilted parallelogram to establish the primary front-left face of the dice.
Step 2: Extending the 3D Frame
From the corners of the parallelogram, extend three new lines: one horizontally from the top-left corner, one horizontally from the rightmost corner, and one horizontally from the bottom-right corner. These lines define the volume of the cube.
Step 3: Completing the Cube
Form the other visible faces of the cube by adding two more lines. Connect the end of the top-left horizontal line to the end of the rightmost horizontal line. Then, connect the end of the rightmost line down to the end of the bottom-right line, creating a solid cubic structure.
Step 4: Adding the First Set of Pips
Select the front-left face of the finished cube. On this face, draw six evenly spaced circles arranged in two vertical rows of three each, representing the number six.
Step 5: Adding Top-Face Pips
Move to the top face of the cube. Draw two smaller circles positioned diagonally towards the back-right, representing the number two.
Step 6: Adding the Side-Face Pip
On the final visible side (the right-hand face), draw a single, centered circle to represent the number one. The entire line-art structure is now complete.
Step 7: Final Coloring
In this final step, apply solid colors to the completed drawing. The main body of the dice is colored a solid, deep green, and all of the pip circles are filled with a solid, deep black.
Step 1: Drawing the First Basic Form
Begin by drawing the single, basic rounded-edge cube structure that will become the primary die. This forms a clear, tilted hexahedron with no details.
Step 2: Introducing the Second Form
Draw a second similar basic cube structure, placing it slightly to the left and directly behind the first die form. Ensure the second form is partially obscured by the first one, which remains in the foreground.
Step 3: Clarifying the Faces of the Primary Die
Clearly define the visible faces (top, front, and side) of the front die structure, giving it a more defined geometric presence. Draw the necessary lines to separate these faces, but do not add any pips yet.
Step 4: Clarifying the Faces of the Secondary Die
Perform the same face definition for the rear die structure. Clearly define its visible top and side faces, respecting the occlusion from the front die. This completes the line-art structures.
Step 5: Placing Pips on Top Surfaces
Add circular pips to the visible top faces of both dice. On the top face of the front die, draw six circular pips arranged in two vertical columns of three pips. On the top face of the rear die, draw a grid of four circular pips in a 2×2 pattern.
Step 6: Adding Initial Front and Side Pips
Continue by drawing pips on other visible faces. On the front-facing surface of the front die, draw a single, centered circular pip. On the visible side face of the rear die, draw a diagonal column of three pips.
Step 7: Completing the Pips
Finish the pip patterns on the remaining visible faces. On the visible side face of the front die, draw five pips in a pattern of a 2×2 square with one pip in the center. On the remaining visible side face of the rear die, draw a full grid of six pips in two vertical columns of three. All line work is now complete.
Step 8: Final Colors
Apply the final color scheme to the entire drawing. The faces of both dice are colored a deep, vivid blue. All pips are left as plain white circles, creating a clean contrast against the blue background of the faces.
Step 1. Creating the First Volume Outline
Begin by sketching a simple, rounded-corner hexagonal shape. This initial outline defines the main form and perspective for the first die, indicating three visible faces.
Step 2. Establishing the Second Volume Outline
Duplicate the previous step by sketching a second, identical rounded-corner hexagon next to the first one. This defines the volume and position for the second die.
Step 3. Defining the Faces of the First Die
Inside the first hexagon form, use precise interior lines, to divide the shape and establish three clear faces in perspective: a front face, a top face, and one side face. The edges should be clean and clearly defined.
Step 4. Defining the Faces of the Second Die
Perform the same refined interior edge definition on the second hexagon form, revealing its front, top, and side faces in matching perspective.
Step 5. Adding the Pips to the First Die
On the first die (the one on the left), carefully place the specific pip patterns. Draw one circle on the front face, three circles on the top face, and four circles on the side face, ensuring they are evenly spaced and correctly positioned.
Step 6. Adding the Pips to the Second Die
Now populate the second die (the one on the right). Following the matching pattern style, place six circles on its top face, two circles on its front face, and three circles on its side face.
Step 7. Coloring and Shading the Dice
Finally, apply the colors to the completed drawing. Fill the body of both dice with a solid yellow color. All of the pips (the circles on all faces) should be colored a clean, solid white. The final image incorporates darker yellow and light brown shading to the edges and faces of both dice to enhance their three-dimensional form and make the white pips stand out.
Step 1: Create the Main Foreground Shape
Begin by drawing a basic outline that represents the primary mass of the first die located in the foreground. This shape is an irregular, slightly rounded hexagonal form that defines the overall structure.
Step 2: Add Perspective and Face Structure
Refine the main shape established in the previous step to define its dimensions and faces. Within the outline, add internal structural lines to create three distinct visible faces in perspective: a top face, a left face, and a right face. This transforms the outline into a convincing rounded-edge cube.
Step 3: Define the Background Die Contour
Next, introduce the second die located behind the first one. Sketch a new, separate outline that defines the maximal outer edges of this second object. This shape is another irregular, slightly rounded hexagonal form positioned above and to the right of the first die.
Step 4: Structure the Background Die Faces
Add perspective and structure to the new background outline created in Step 3. Draw internal edge lines across the form to divide it into three visible faces: a top face, a front-left face, and a front-right face. The resulting cube is rotated differently from the first.
Step 5: Add Pips to the Foreground Die
Start adding the details by drawing the “pips” or spots onto the foreground die. These should be drawn as small ellipses or ovals adjusted for the perspective of each face. On the top face, place one pip centrally. On the left face, place two pips arranged diagonally. On the right face, place three pips arranged in a single column.
Step 6: Add Pips to the Background Die
Apply the same pip-drawing technique to the second, background die. Draw ellipses representing five pips on the top face of the background cube. Add ellipses representing four pips to its front-left face, and ellipses representing six pips to its front-right face.
Step 7: Applying Final Shading and Colors
The final step is to apply color to the complete drawing structure as established. The entire body of both the foreground and background dice is filled with a solid, vibrant purple color. All of the pips (the ellipses drawn on all faces of both dice) are filled with a bright, light cyan or sky-blue color.
Hopefully, this drawing tutorial on Dice will help you easily create a nice drawing.
