We saw in the Part A how to solve a common mistake about drawing “dual ellipses” – showing the top surface of camera lens for example.

Today, let’s draw multiple cylinders on the same scene, like the Buren’s column in Paris.

Add the ellipses with the minor axis as well.
How to draw multiple cylinders- design sketching Part B f
Extrude the ellipse to the top following the minor axis as a guide.

Repeat the operation with the smaller ellipse inside – to get a tube.
How to draw multiple cylinders- design sketching Part B h
Add contour lines. Make sure they follow the converging lines on the ground.
How to draw multiple cylinders- design sketching Part B i
Add curves at the bottom of the cylinder to add extra details.
How to draw multiple cylinders- design sketching Part B j
Repeat the operation for each of the 4 contour lines.
How to draw multiple cylinders- design sketching Part B k
Add unifinished lines as well.

 

 

 

 

How to draw multiple cylinders- design sketching Part B m
Time to add more cylinders. To do so, expand your ground adding converging lines.
How to draw multiple cylinders- design sketching Part B n
How about drawing a “negative column” going down.
How to draw multiple cylinders- design sketching Part B o
Double check your cylinders. All the minor axis go to the same direction. All the cylinders are symmetrical.
