How to Draw a Rolled Storage Rack
No doubt, storage racks ease the clutter and come in handy if they have mounted casters that allow the unit to be rolled where it's needed. Used in fashion, food and industry, rolling racks are an indispensable tool, and if you find yourself in need of perhaps drawing one, either as an art project or to make one yourself, you'll see it's an easy task indeed. For the purposes of this article, we'll cover drawing both a 2D and 3D version.

Draw a square on the left center of your paper, then draw a vertical rectangle on the right center. These shapes serve as the main body of the storage unit and should be sized to accommodate the added details to the drawing. The square will be the 3D version, and the 2D is the rectangle.

Draw two 45-degree lines that jut up and to the right, one on both top points of the square. Do the same for the bottom two points, then draw straight lines that connect all the points together to form a 3D-looking cube. On the right "side" of the square, add two to four 45-degree lines to signify how many shelves you'll be including in the drawing. Do the same to the left "side" square, then draw straight lines across the body of the main square.

Add lines as necessary to complete the 3D shelving as you did for the main body of the storage rack. Add in lighter lines to all squares to signify the rack is made from wire; otherwise, leave it alone if it's to be made of wood, plastic or metal. Add small upside triangles underneath each corner of the square and the rectangle.

Draw in small circles (the wheels, or casters) but draw them around the triangle points to create the caster's axles. Retrace your drawing in the black ink to make it stand out on the page (don't forget to color in the wheels). Write in any measurements pertaining to the rack's actual size, such as height, width and depth.
