1. Draw a side of the table and the position of the vanishing point. Positioning the vanishing point high on the left or right hand side means that one side of the table will be seen when the drawing of the table is completed.
 
 
2. Starting with the table top, project guidelines back to the vanishing point and complete drawing the top.

Then project more guidelines for each of the front legs, adding thickness to each one.
 
 
 
 
3. The most difficult part is ensuring that the back legs line up with the front legs. One way of ensuring that this happens is to project faint lines as shown on the drawing below.
 
 
4. Add suitable colour /shade using a coloured pencils.

Include wood grain to the top of the table.
