How to Draw a Basketball Hoop

- Add details.
Now add two parts to the hoop with which the ring is attached to the backboard.
- Backboard center.
Now add a square piece of the backboard that sits directly above the hoop. It is necessary for the players for a more accurate and successful throw. To show it behind the ring, draw a rectangle, the sides of which will taper to the left in perspective. Since the drawing has a perspective due to the lateral position of the object.

Now you need to depict the basic large shape of the backboard. To do this, sketch a rounded rectangle, keeping in mind the previously mentioned linear perspective.

Now you need to draw the inner lines on the basketball backboard.
