How to Draw a Coffin Step by Step
Step 1: Draw the Top Shape
Start drawing the coffin with the top part. It’s the most important part of a coffin. So, draw it carefully. First, you need to draw a small slaned line on the left corner of the paper.
Now, draw two slightly slanted lines upward in a way that their opening becomes broad at the end. Join the two edges of the lines with three small lines just like the reference.
However, you won’t be wrong if you say it a pentagon. And yes! A basic coffin shape will be created.
Step 2: Thicken the Lower Side
Now, you need to make the lower side of the coffin thick. For this, draw some lines below the right side of the top part. If you follow the reference, you will see that I have drawn four lines under the top part to make this part thick.
Step 3: Add Details Inside the Thick Part
As you have thickened the lower part of the coffin, you have got some blank space there. So, you just need to add some details inside this part to give it a texture.
As per reference, you can see that I have added some slightly slanted lines inside the blank space.
Step 4: Draw a Cross at the Top
On the top side of the Halloween coffin, you have to draw a cross sign so that it looks like the real coffin of graveyards. It will also give the coffin spooky look.
So, follow the reference and draw a simple cross sign on the top side of the coffin.
Step 5: Make the Cross Thick
To give a thickness to the cross drawing, you have to draw another cross inside the previous one. It must be inside and parallel to the big size cross.
By doing so, you will see that the cross sign has got thickened. I have also added some details on the top part of the coffin to give it a real look. But if you want to skip them, you can.
Color the Coffin Drawing
Finally, make the coffin look like the real one by adding colors into it. I have used shades of brown and watercolor marker sets for coloring the whole drawing. However, you can use your own sets of coloring tools and shades for coffin drawing.
