Draw the Cylinder of the Watering Can – First step of Step by step drawing a watering can
With a 4H pencil sketch a square, slightly tapered at the bottom. Draw a guideline above the square to help you place the top of the ellipse. Add height to the lines on the side, then sketch the top and bottom ellipses.
Add the Spout and Handle
Use the 4H pencil to sketch the lines for the spout. Use one of your proportioning tools to compare the spout width to the width of the cylinder, using this drawing as a reference. Add lines for the handle and a curved line for the top.
Add Details to the Watering Can
Add an angled ellipse at the top, ellipses around the central section as ribs, lines to connect the handle, and a small cylinder for the end of the spout.
Add Details, Including the Leaves and Boards
Add details, including the wire handle at the top and lines where the spout attaches to the body. Create the dent by changing the shape of the lines that form the ribbing. Sketch the leaf shapes around the can and vertical lines for the boards in the background. Use a kneaded eraser to remove obsolete guidelines.
Add Values to the Watering Can
Add lines to indicate the structure of the leaves and boards. With the 4H pencil, add the shading on the watering can with thin strokes going in many directions to create a weathered texture. Because the light source is at the upper left, make the left side of the can lighter than the right side.
Add Texture and Value to the Leaves and Boards
Shade the leaves, using an HB pencil for the soft line work and a 4H pencil for light, thin line work. With a 4H pencil, add the appearance of wood grain to the boards.
Add Darks and Details
Using 4H, HB and 4B pencils, add darks and details. Pinch the end of the kneaded eraser so it makes a point, and gently rub it on the paper to create lighter areas, such as the top of the ribs. Sign and date your artwork.It was the last step of step of Step by step drawing a watering can.
