How to Draw a Sunglass?

Here are the simple steps.

Step 1 – Draw the Basic Lens Shapes

• Begin by drawing two rounded rectangular shapes side by side; these will form the lenses.
• Make sure both lenses are similar in size and shape to maintain symmetry.
• Leave a small gap between the lenses where the bridge of the glasses will go.
• Keep your lines light and clean, focusing only on the outer lens outlines.
• Slightly round the corners so the lenses look smooth and wearable.
• Avoid adding thickness or details at this stage—this is just the foundation.
• Check alignment by imagining a horizontal line running through both lenses.
• This step establishes the overall proportions and style of the sunglasses.

Step 2 – Add Frame Thickness and the Bridge

• Trace around each lens to add frame thickness, following the same shape but slightly outward.
• Connect the two lenses using a curved bridge at the top center.
• Refine the inner lens edges so they appear neatly framed.
• Slightly thicken the top portion of the frame to give it a sturdy look.
• Smooth out corners and curves to avoid sharp or uneven edges.
• Ensure both sides of the frame look balanced and consistent.
• Keep the style simple and elegant, like classic sunglasses.
• This step turns the lenses into a recognizable glasses frame.

Step 3 – Draw the Arms (Temples) and Perspective

• Extend thin rectangular shapes from the outer corners of the frames to form the arms of the sunglasses.
• Angle the arms slightly backward to show perspective.
• Add a small bend near the end of each arm where they would rest over the ears.
• Thicken the arms slightly to match the frame’s weight.
• Refine the frame edges and corners for a clean, finished look.
• Add small hinge details where the arms connect to the frame.
• Make sure the arms align naturally with the front frame.
• This step gives the sunglasses a three-dimensional, wearable appearance.

Step 4 – Shade the Lenses and Finalize Details

• Lightly shade the lenses using diagonal or curved pencil strokes.
• Keep shading even to suggest tinted or dark lenses.
• Leave small unshaded areas to represent light reflection.
• Darken the frame outline slightly to separate it from the lenses.
• Add subtle shading along the frame edges for depth.
• Clean up any stray or overlapping sketch lines.
• Adjust contrast so the lenses stand out clearly within the frame.
• This final step completes the sunglasses with polish and realism.
