About This Article
Don’t worry if you don’t have a compass and you need to draw a hexagon, since you can draw one with a ruler and a pencil. Start by drawing a dot for the middle of your hexagon. Then, draw a faint line of the same length above and below the dot and mark the ends of the lines with dots. Next, draw a faint horizontal line halfway between your central dot and each of the dots at the end of the vertical lines. Make the length the same as the vertical lines. Mark another dot at the end of each horizontal line. Then, connect those dots in a cross going through the central dot. Finally, draw straight lines between all of the dots to make your hexagon shape and erase the faint lines in the middle. For more tips, including how to draw a hexagon starting with one side, read on!
