How to draw multiple cylinders in perspective |Part B

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.

How to draw multiple cylinders- design sketching Part B b — Download the Designer Starter Kit – with basic tutorial about perspective included.

How to draw multiple cylinders- design sketching Part B c — Let’s draw multiple columns in perspective – inspired from the Buren’s column in Paris.

How to draw multiple cylinders- design sketching Part B d — Start with the ground plane adding converging lines.

How to draw multiple cylinders- design sketching Part B e — 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.

How to draw multiple cylinders- design sketching Part B g — 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.

How to draw multiple cylinders- design sketching Part B p — Time for practicing with rough lines! It will help you memorize the process and the forms.
