You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
Front
Draw two parallel lines at a small right angle, about two inches apart. Connect the lines at both ends.
Do you know? Most of the pirate’s treasure is not gold but cloth, cocoa or food!
Step 2
Inside
Draw a corner line from the top right corner of the rectangle and the top left corner, then connect them.
Step 3
Chest sole
From the bottom right corner of the bottom rectangle, draw a line that stops just below the top right corner of the upper rectangle. Then connect both.
Step 4
Lid
From the upper right corner of the upper rectangle, draw a large D. In the top left corner, draw a line of the same length and angle and then join them.
Step 5
Lid details
Inside the big D, draw two straight lines. Make a semicircle inside the curve of the letter D, then add two short dashes. In the top left corner of the cap, draw a small, slightly slanted line, connecting one end to the line of the letter D. Connect the other end to the bottom of the cap.
Step 6
Hooks
Draw a bubble C on the side of the chest. Add another bubble C to the side over the hook.
Step 7
Lock
Below the hook, draw a horizontal D with the curve pointing downwards. In D, draw a J that connects to the half-curve. Inside this section, draw a keyhole, then color it.
Do you know? Pirates rarely bury treasure. Instead, they will share it with each other.
Step 8
Chest detail
Create a dot inside the bottom left corner of the inside of the chest. Connect this to the bottom right corner and inside the top right corner. Draw straight lines through the sides of the chest. Add thick dots in each corner for the nails.
Step 9
Pearl
Draw small circles in the shape of a necklace so that they stick out to the right side of the chest. Draw a smaller version next to it. Draw equally spaced lines on the edges of the chest.
Step 10
Booty
Draw small ovals and circles for the coin, with small curves for texture. For jewelry, a triangle on top of a square. Draw two lines from the top point of the triangle to the bottom line and do the same for the square.
Step 11
Color
You can use shadows to create depth and texture. Get creative by adding markings on your coins or reflecting light on jewelry.
