    Does it work the same with rectangles?

    You can do the same thing for rectangles and any angular shapes (rhombus, pentagon, octagon) or similar shapes.

    How do I draw a 3D triangle?

    Community Answer
    There is no such thing. Now, if you mean a CONE, draw a sideways oval and then have two lines curve upward into a roof/triangle shape.

    The idea is the same on any paper. The grid is only to help get the lines exact. If you struggle drawing it without a grid at first, you can use a ruler to draw one out.
