It takes me a long time to create these worksheets for you, but I am glad to do it.
PROJECT NOTES.
Start by drawing a large circle for the top of the bell and an oval horizontally underneath. Add a few lines to connect the two to make the basic shape of the bell. Don't forget the clapper- the circle inside the oval.
Draw a larger circle for the arch of the bell wall and crossbar for the bell to hang from; a few short choppy lines will give the bar a rough wood look, don't forget the shadow underneath.

After getting the bell and arch established, take a moment and look things over to make sure it is even and square.
DEVELOPING FORM
Make the stone wall by first drawing very lightly some horizontal lines to serve as a "grid" for the stones to be drawn in. Make sure the light reference lines are straight. Draw each stone slowly and carefully. Leave spaces between the stones; this will look like the mortar holding them together.
DETAILS Make a shadow under the bottom of each stone; this will make them look three-dimensional.
Shadow in the areas that need it, such as the inside of the bell, and use a gradual deepening shadow to make the bell look round.
If you are working with color, I suggest the stone can be some pale red and orange. Make the sky beyond the bell a pale blue and the bell itself green. Erase any leftover marks.
Sometimes it takes me hours, but I create these how to draw worksheets, but I do it so that I can give back because I believe that when you have been given a gift, it is so you can be a gift to others, and I hope these worksheets are a means of blessing to you.
