Here is a free printable how to draw worksheet of an hourglass.
This is a project that looks simple at first, but because it requires attention to symmetry it is a good practice project for the beginner artist. It is a subject that can be part of a still life or a scene from a historical setting.

PRINTABLE NOTES.
Draw lightly at first so you can erase later.Start with a rectangle shape. Add a guideline down the center to help keep things even. Draw an X from the corners through the center, this will be another guideline.
Draw an oval for the top and the bottom. Use the corners of the rectangle to help keep the oval from being lopsided.
Draw a half circles, one for the top and another for the bottom of the glass. It may help if you find a jar lid to trace around, Do not be afraid to use tools like rulers and tracing around circles every artist uses tools.
Draw four guidelines for the spindles on the sides. Use a circle in the center with an oval above and below each circle to form the shape of the spindles, then go around them to give smooth flowing lines.
Draw the shiny spots on the glass. Go around the half circles and connect them with curving lines.
The sand in the bottom looks like a triangle. The sand in the top is a "U" shape.
Add details like edges to the top and bottom.
Use shading to give the effect of roundness and depth. The far spindles are darker since they are in the shadow.
Take your time to add texture to the sand and long lines for the wood on the top.
Add a background like a tabletop.
