FAQ – Fridge Drawing References
What’s the easiest way to start drawing a fridge?
Start with a simple rectangle and add perspective lines. Keep it basic at first, then add details like the door handle or texture.
Should I draw the inside or outside of the fridge?
Both are fun! The outside is great for learning form and symmetry. The inside is perfect for practicing depth and cluttered spaces.
Can I draw from a photo or a real fridge?
Yes! Real-life observation helps, but reference photos are great for trying new angles or fridge styles.
