When you start drawing your Minecraft chest, you’ll notice that the first thing to do is create some simple lines and shapes. This is a great way to build a strong foundation for your drawing! After you’ve got those basic outlines down, you can save the fun part of coloring for later. It can be helpful to take a look at all the steps before you begin so you can understand how everything fits together. There are nine steps in total, guiding you through each part of the chest, from the base to the lock and even the pixel-style texture that makes it look just like it does in the game. Are you excited to create your own Minecraft chest? Let’s get started!
Time Needed: 45 minutes
-
Draw the Base
Let’s start by outlining a rectangular box for the base of the Minecraft chest. You can use a ruler to help straighten your lines!
-
Form the Top
Above the base, draw the top part of the chest angled upward as if it’s open, similar to the illustration.
-
Add the Lock
Add a small rectangular lock on the top part of the chest. Don’t forget to erase overlapping lines.
-
Outline the Opening of the Top Part
On the bottom face of the chest’s top, draw a slightly smaller rectangle to outline the opening.
-
Draw the Opening of the Bottom
Now, create a matching smaller rectangle to outline the opening of the chest’s base.
-
Outline the Inner Corners
Draw diagonal lines to form the inner corners of the chest’s top and base.
-
Add the Lining of the Base
Add rectangular borders on the outer sides of the chest’s base.
-
Draw the Lining of the Top
Repeat the same step on the top part of the chest by drawing rectangular borders.
-
Color the Minecraft Chest Drawing
First, color the exterior of the chest with a light orange shade. Next, use dark brown for the thick linings around the chest’s top and base. Now, fill in the chest lock with light gray. Then, color the interior with a brown shade. Lastly, add slightly darker blocky spots all over the chest to mimic the pixel-style texture in-game.
