Introduction
Hourglasses are beautiful and intricate objects that have been used for centuries to measure time. In this step by step drawing guide, we will learn how to draw a detailed and realistic hourglass.
Materials Needed
Before we begin, make sure you have the following materials:
- Pencil
- Eraser
- Drawing paper
Step 1: Draw the Top Bulb
Start by drawing a small circle at the top of your paper. This will be the top bulb of the hourglass.
Step 2: Draw the Neck
From the top of the circle, draw two curved lines that meet in a point slightly below the circle. This will be the neck of the hourglass.
Step 3: Draw the Bottom Bulb
Below the point where the two curved lines meet, draw another circle of the same size as the top one. This will be the bottom bulb of the hourglass.
Step 4: Connect the Bulbs
Connect the top and bottom bulbs with two curved lines. Make sure they are parallel and symmetrical.
Step 5: Add Details
Now, add details such as the hourglass stand, shadows, and any other embellishments you desire to make your drawing more realistic.
Step 6: Shade and Erase
Shade in the areas that need shadow and erase any unnecessary lines. This will help give your hourglass depth and dimension.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have successfully drawn a realistic hourglass. Practice makes perfect, so keep experimenting and improving your drawing skills. Remember, drawing is all about patience and practice!
