Today, we’ll learn how to draw a chain!
Drawing a chain can be fun and rewarding. Chains have interlocking links that create a repeating pattern, making them a great subject to practice drawing.
Chains are strong, and their links connect seamlessly. By drawing one, we can capture their unique structure and texture.
Let’s start. Focus on drawing the individual links, making sure they connect properly and have a consistent shape. Pay attention to details like shadows and highlights to add depth and realism to your drawing. These elements will make your chain drawing look realistic and impressive.

How to Draw a Chain
Step: 1
Begin by drawing a rounded rectangle. This shape will form the first link in the chain.
Step: 2
Inside the first rectangle, draw a smaller, rounded rectangle. This creates the inner part of the first chain link.
Step: 3
Draw another rounded rectangle extending from the right side of the first link. This starts the second link.
Step: 4
Inside the second rounded rectangle, draw a smaller, rounded rectangle, just like you did for the first link.
Step: 5
Now, draw a third rounded rectangle extending from the second link. This begins the third link in the chain.
Step: 6
Inside the third rounded rectangle, draw another smaller, rounded rectangle.
Step: 7
Add a fourth rounded rectangle extending from the third link, continuing the chain
Step: 8
Inside the fourth rounded rectangle, draw a smaller, rounded rectangle.
Step: 9
Color your chain. For a classic look, use shades of metallic colors like silver or gold. You can also get creative and use bright, fun colors for a different effect.
