To represent the images in concave (or diverging) lenses, it is essential to draw at least two of the three principal rays coming from the tip of the object. Then, the point where the refracted rays intersect with the principal axis must be connected to form the image.​

Regardless of where the object is in front of the concave lens, the image characteristics will always be the same. Thus, the image will always be virtual, upright, smaller than the object, and located closer to the lens than to the object.​
