How to Draw a Great Looking Gems for Kids and Beginners - Step 1

2. Next, you'll draw a number of differently shaped gemstones. Draw a hexagon, or a six-sided shape. In the center, draw a rectangle but do not connect the corners. Instead, draw short straight lines to connect the primary lines of the shape. For the final gem, draw two straight lines like an open-ended triangle. Then, draw two shorter straight lines at an opposite diagonal from the first. Finally, connect these using a horizontal line, fully enclosing the shape.

Learn More About The Gems Drawing

Gems are special mineral stones that are prized because they are rare and beautiful. Since ancient times, gems have been collected and made into jewelry.

Some, such as the diamond, are valued for industrial uses due to their hardness. Diamonds may be used to cut metal or as the sharp edge of certain medical tools.

Most gems have a crystalline structure, but some, such as amber, which comes from tree resin, do not.

Because of their expense, gems are used as symbols. Gems are often associated with royalty. The gems that belong to the king and queen may be referred to as the "crown jewels."

Gems may symbolize riches or wealth. Gemstones are also associated with marriage and engagement because diamond rings are often exchanged on these occasions.

In popular culture, gems are used in video games. In some games, gems are collected by the player and are equated to points. In other games, gems are awarded to be used as a form of in-game currency.

Some games, such as Bejeweled, are centered around gemstones. Bejeweled is a tile matching puzzle game in which players match different types and colors of gemstones.
