How to Draw a Ruler

  • Start by drawing a long, thin rectangle for the body of the ruler.
  • Draw a smaller, narrow rectangle inside the first one, leaving a thin border around it.
  • Add short vertical lines along the inner rectangle’s edge to represent the ruler’s increments.
  • For added detail, draw tiny numbers above some of the lines to indicate measurements.
  • If you want, you can also draw a small hole at one end of the ruler for hanging.
  • Add some light shading or diagonal lines on the outer border for texture.
