How to Draw Shirt Cuffs

A shirt cuff is the end of a sleeve turned up. Shirt cuffs on a sleeve create a polished look and make a shirt look tailored. They are usually made to be secured with a button or cuff links. In pictures, shirt cuffs look just as impressive as the real thing. An artist can draw a picture of shirt cuffs with just a few strokes of his pencil. So can anyone else with a little guidance to help them through the process.

Instructions

    • 1

      Draw a 1-inch long straight horizontal line with your penci, using your ruler to guide you.

    • 2

      Draw a 1½-inch vertical line, starting at the end of the horizontal line, on the right side.

    • 3

      Draw another 1-inch long straight horizontal line, starting from the end of the vertical line and going left.

    • 4

      Draw another 1½-inch vertical line, starting from the end of the bottom horizontal line and ending at the end of the top horizontal line.

    • 5

      Draw another vertical line, starting from the top left corner of the rectangle you just drew, gradually moving your pencil a short distance out and away (about 1/8 of an inch) from the vertical line next to it, ending your vertical line about 2 mm below the end of your rectangular box.

    • 6

      Draw another straight horizontal line from the end of the vertical line you just drew, moving your pencil toward the right and ending at the right bottom corner of your shirt cuff.

    • 7

      Draw a circle in the bottom left corner of the shirt cuff to illustrate a button or cuff link.

    • 8

      Draw the matching shirt cuff by following Steps 1 through 4, and then Step 5 after modifying it to read: "Starting from the top right corner of the cuff," and Step 6 after modifying it to read: "Draw another straight horizontal line from the end of the last vertical line drawn, moving your pencil toward the left and ending at the left bottom corner of your shirt cuff." Follow Step 7, but draw your circle in the bottom right corner of the shirt cuff instead of the left.
