Ellipse Drawing Practice

Daily drawing, even for short periods, is a great way to improve drawing skills more rapidly. This exercise, besides being an interesting piece of architecture to draw, is also great practice with ellipses. The reference photo can be found on the channel Community Page.

All classical columns have entasis. there may be exceptions in different buildings, but that is the rule.

But less in ionic. It’s there, but to create the illusion of looking. straight. Doric and Corinthian orders have a noticeable swelling. Thanks for your thoughts. 😀

Follies were an early form of social welfare as opposed to building Roman things Landowners used to create jobs for their workers with them The money they earned was ultimately spent in the landowner’s pubs and shops and was used to pay the rent for the house that the landowner already owned

Do you have any tips on cross hatching water?

[@stephentraversart]

My best video would be drawing a fountain in Paris. If you search 'water' or fountain it should come up.
