How to Draw the Arc de Triomphe
1: Draw a square, make sure the vertical
lines get a bit narrower at the top.
2: Draw three more lines, to make a basic arch shape.
3: Add two lines to make two rectangles.
4: Draw a semicircle in the arch and then
add an extra semicircle and two more lines.
5: Draw a dot for the vanishing point, on the
baseline and then add two diagonal lines from
each arch.
6: Now draw a third arch shape, inside the other arches.
7: Now draw some more horizontal lines at the base.
8: Draw two squares each side of the arch.
9: Now draw some more horizontal lines.
10: Now draw two rectangles.
11: Add a keystone to the front and back arch.
12: Sketch in a loose indication of some
sculptures of people.
13: Next, draw a diagonal line from the edges
of some horizontal lines to the vanishing point.
14: Draw some more horizontal lines, so we can
add more details later.
15: Time to erase the diagonal guide lines.
16: Add some vertical lines at the top and then
add more diagonal lines to the vanishing point.
17: Draw a line of circles and then some smaller circles.
18: Next sketch in some details, just sketching,
no precise details needed.
