How to Draw a Tool Chest
A tool chest is a large metal container designed specifically for tools. Tool chests have wide, flat drawers for holding and displaying tools. These boxes are usually taller than they are wide, with wheels on the bottom for limited mobility. Conventionally, tool chests are painted red or black, or a combination. When drawing this subject, be sure to use a ruler to draw clean, precise lines.

Tips & Warnings
This is a very basic tool chest, suitable for a cartoon or a diagram drawing. Add extra details for a more elaborate drawing. For example, add a handle to each drawer, or give the chest a 3-D quality by drawing a side and top receding into a vanishing point.
