PRINTABLE ART LESSON NOTES.
BEGINNINGS
Start by drawing lightly so you can erase later.
Draw a line straight across the bottom for where the ground, this helps keep the legs right. The tank can be a rectangle or square. Just lightly sketch the basic shape in to get started. Use a guideline down the middle to keep thing even, draw it lightly so you can erase later. Use some lines from the tank to the ground to keep things straight, draw them lightly so you can erase later. Use some lines to make the mountains in the background, draw them lightly you will want to come back to the background later.
DEVELOPING THE FORM
The barrel of the tank is a cylinder viewed from below. Using the cross lines of the square draw a curved line across the top. If the curved line is slight the tower looks lower to the ground if the curved line is very deep it looks like you are nearer to it.
The top curve has the same degree as the bottom curve line. You will have two up curves and one down curve for the far bottom or back edge.
The legs of the tower are slightly outward tilted for support and have cross supports just draw lines to get the arrangements right. Put one line off-center for interest and to give room for the center pipe.
Draw two lines for the ladder, remember they have a slight bend where the tank ends and the outward bending legs begin. Mark off where the cross steps will be so you can keep them even. Use parallel lines to give the ladder substance.
The top of the tank has a roof, draw it like a triangle.
Go around the lines of the legs and the cross supports with additional lines to give them thickness. Then erase the original lines. Draw a third line to keep the planks and beams from looking two-dimensional.
Use marks to plan where the planks are spaced on the round sides of the tank. The planks are wider in the center and closer together as they near the edges, this is perspective. Draw the planks as lines going from the top to the bottom.
Add a figure like a cow or horse or farm worker to give the viewer a sense of size.
The background will give the picture a sense of place. Draw bushes trees hills and mountains. Add grasses and rocks in the foreground. Add a shadow under the tank.
I hope you draw a masterpiece
