How to draw kapitel

Drawing of architectural details is an essential part of learning classical drawing. Future artists are offered various fragments of ancient buildings, including the capital, that is, the upper part of the column. But the image of such details may be necessary not only to the student art Studio. It could be decorations for school or home play, and illustrations to the textbook of ancient history.

You will need

• - a sheet of paper;
• pencil;
• - three-dimensional mock-Doric capitals or drawing.

Instruction

1. To draw, of course, the best from nature. But few keep at home layouts, architectural details in natural size, so it is possible that have to do with the picture. However, you can use modern tools. For example, find the appropriate video, watch it to the place where the column is in the desired angle and freeze the frame. This, of course, volume is not the layout but idea of the lighting and relationship between the forms, this method gives.
2. Consider capital. You will see that it consists of several parts. Upstairs is a massive square plate, it is also called abacoa. Above this is the plate thinner, it is called shelf. If you draw these plates in the upper projection, the centers coincide, and the sides will be parallel. Under abakay from the Doric capitals is something like a bowl- a wide part formed by the rotation of the ball. It ekhin. Under it you see a belt, consisting of separate parts, again below the cylinder. He ends up going in a circle with a shelf, which is the transition to the actual column. This is the easiest option capitals. Under the upper plate can be images of plants and animals, the belt can be carved - and so on.
3. Start painting a thin hard pencil with axis the vertical line. The most comfortable angle - when the middle of the top plate is right in front of you. In this case it coincides with the axis of symmetry, and you just have to determine the balance of sizes. But, of course, you can choose any other angle.
4. Define the ratio of the heights of the largest parts. Take as a basis of the column between the belts. Its height is about 2 times smaller than the width. Mark the height of the points, then set aside from each point to the right and left equal distance. Down put the segments is approximately equal to 1/6 the height of this part of the capital. For ahina take the height equal to about 2/3 of the column height between the corbels, and about the same to the height of the plate without shelves.
5. Decide on the width ahina and top plate. Ahina bottom diameter is slightly wider than the main column, and the upper one equal to the side of the plate. The plate is about 2 times wider than the main column. Top shelves for take the width a little more.
6. Connect the intended point. All of the capitals connect the straight lines or arcs depending on the position in relation to you is kapitel. The oval part, you can draw just like you draw a glass or two straight lines between which the top and bottom are oval. Extra lines get. Side part ahina draw arcs, the convex portion is directed from the column. Pririsuyte transverse lines. Pass by hatching the form of the capitals. The parts that are farther away from you, take darker.
