How to Draw The Leaning Tower of Pisa
1: Draw two vertical, leaning, lines.
2: Draw a series of ellipses, squashed circles,
between the leaning lines.
3: You will need six or seven ellipses, evenly spaced.
4: Now draw a smaller ellipse at the top, it needs to be narrower.
5: Next, darken the front of each ellipse.
6: Now draw a second line to each ellipse.
7: Now draw another ellipse line; just copy your earlier lines.
8: Next draw a series of small arch shapes between these lines.
9: Now draw a series of columns for each arch.
10: To add shadows, draw a series of arches between
each column, getting lower each side.
11: The drawing is now ready for pen work,
I drew the lines first, then add black tone.
12: Now you could add part of the Cathedral...
13: For this, I draw using 1-Point Perspective, side lines go to the vanishing point...
...just draw a cross at the bottom of your drawing!
All the lines on the side, the diagonal lines, should go to the cross.
