Work lightly so you can easily erase your marks if you make a mistake. You can work with your paper horizontally, but you won’t be able to draw your tower as tall as you would if it was vertical.
Don’t draw the square and triangle too big or else you won’t be able to draw the rest of the tower proportionally correct.
Don’t extend the curved lines all the way to the bottom of the page since the legs on the bottom of the Eiffel Tower are straighter.
It’s okay if your curves aren’t perfectly parallel with one another since the Eiffel Tower starts to get wider near the bottom.
Remember the Eiffel Tower is symmetrical so the left and right side should look the same once you’re finished.
Don’t let the top of the curve touch the bottom of the rectangle.
You can also add small X-shapes along the viewing platforms and on the bottom arch if you want to add more detail to your drawing.
The perspective of the drawing resembles standing near the base of the Eiffel Tower and looking up at it.
The rectangles are the bottoms of the Eiffel Tower’s viewing platforms.
It’s okay to draw the lines through the rectangles at first. Just be sure to erase them so they aren’t in your final drawing.
When you’re finished, there will be 15-16 lines from the tip to the top viewing platform, 3-4 lines between the viewing platforms, and 3-4 lines on each leg.
If you want to add more depth to your drawing, make small rectangles instead of single lines. That way, the supports will look three-dimensional.
