You don't have to be a gun enthusiast to draw a 9mm gun! Just follow these easy steps to learn how!

Note: Follow the red lines for each step.

Steps

  1. 1
    Draw 2 rectangles forming an "L"shape.[1]
  2. 2
    At the inner corner of the "L" shape, draw a rectangle with an oval inside it.
  3. 3
    Cut the segments of the gun. Divide the top rectangle in the middle. Draw a perpendicular line in the lower half about 1/3 of the way down the rectangle. Draw curved lines at the points as shown in the illustration.[2]
  4. 4
    Draw in the details. It is up to you how much detail you want your gun to have. Some of the essential details are the trigger, which can be made by drawing a triangle in the oval you made, and the sight/s by drawing 2 triangles at the top rectangle. Also, draw a small rectangle at the end of the L shape for the hole of the barrel.[3]
  5. 5
    Ink in the drawing, erase the sketch.
  6. 6
    Color the drawing and then you are done!
