Paintings in beautiful frames are striking with their beauty. And if it's easy to draw a picture, it seems to be a difficult task to draw a frame for it.

We will explain and show you how to draw a frame for a picture, a photo or a drawing in our instruction. Follow the instruction and you will succeed.

You need:

1

Basis

We draw a basis in a form of a rectangle or a square. You can choose a form that you like.

2

Border

You can mark a border inside, in the area where the frame ends. Try to make the corners on one line.

Corners

Draw the corners in the form of diagonal lines.

Corners

They go to the opposite directions on one line.

Corners

The lower lines must continue the upper ones.

Corners

You can use a ruler and draw the diagonal lines. Then erase the extra lines and leave only the corners.

Inner part

There must be one more rectangle inside, because the wood's connections make these lines.

Volume

Draw the rectangles at a very small distance from each other to give some volume to the frame.

Upper and lower patterns

Draw the patterns with the help of small curved lines.Their inclination must be on one side.

Upper and lower patterns

The lines are smaller and smaller near the corners. Try not to go beyond the borders. Don't press while drawing in order to make it possible to erase the detail if it's wrong.
