And the second lesson descended, which will follow the painted temples. And this lesson will be glorified and great, for it will be drawn with a clean and light pencil. As you may have noticed, the topic of buildings of ambiguous meaning continues, and this time we will look at how to draw a church. The Church is a stronghold of goodness and love, but not all of its deeds are as bright as they are believed to be. Look, for example, at these facts:
- Crusades. The thing is very interesting and rich. By official version They were organized for the liberation of Palestine, but in principle the goal was the arrogant conversion of poor pagans to Christians and their ascension to heaven. Let's just say that during the entire period of the Crusades, tens of thousands of superstitious people rose up against their will;
- Everyone knows that the Pope is the head of the seat of the highest spiritual leadership of the Roman Catholic Church. Yes. But not everyone knows that one day a woman became Pope. No one even guessed until Papa gave birth right during the service. Well, as always, the modern Vatican considers this event a fiction, but who knows, who knows...
And now that we know all the exquisite secrets of the church, let's start drawing!
How to draw a church with a pencil step by step
Step one: add the base of the building and some flora around it. Step two: now we finish drawing the walls and trees. Since this is a church, and there is always a cemetery near the church, you know what needs to be completed. Step three: we clarify the facade and architecture of the church, and also put up a few more tombstones.
Step Four: Apply More more details on the building itself, we give it a more adequate shape. Step five: everything is almost finished, all that remains is to correct the main window and some details.
Well, that's all, the church is ready, everyone is happy, amen!

To draw a cathedral with a pencil, let’s take the Novgorod St. Sophia Cathedral as a basis step by step.
Drawing an aquarium
In the middle of the Aquarium we draw horizontal lines.
Now draw triangles at the very top
Adding some vertical lines
Now let’s draw domes in triangles
Draw the frame of the window and dome, erase the extra lines.
We make the temple three-dimensional using shading.
St. Sophia Cathedral is ready.
It is quite difficult to depict a church or temple, because there are subtleties of buildings, small details, etc.
But you can try. You need to start from general rules, if you want to depict a church in projection. This method is well shown in the question How to draw a house. At first the technique will be the same. A schematic image, and only then drawing.
Schemes can be seen on the forum with computer drawing, and just draw by hand whichever you like best. The types may be different, of course.
Sample image:
With such questions, I will soon become an architect))) then give you a hut on chicken legs, then a castle... and now a church.)
It is drawn in the same way as other buildings, but we add attributes of faith in Jesus Christ: arched windows and doors, crosses on the roofs instead of roosters, and we also need to add a dome.
You can even draw in paint; to draw straight lines, hold down Shift, and for smooth curves, use a double-curved line.
Here is an approximate diagram according to which I drew something similar to Orthodox Church. Or maybe even Catholic. Only the Father, Son and Holy Spirit knows what the difference is between them. Amen.
You can see how to draw a church step by step with a pencil in the video that I have posted below. I’ll tell you now how to do it (draw a church).
So, first we draw a cross on a piece of paper on top (I think everyone can cope with this task), then we draw the top of the church (in other words, the dome), then from this the witch bathed 2 parallel lines down (we start drawing lines from the sides of the dome), then we begin to draw these lines in different directions at an angle of 45 degrees. Then, stepping back a little from the edges of these lines inside the church, we again draw 2 lines down and connect them with a horizontal straight line below.
Well, we have the silhouette of the church, now we paint the dome with wavy lines, then in the upper part of the church we draw a bell tower (we draw a semicircular window, and in the middle there is a bell), a little lower we draw a round window, on the sides - semicircular ones, and at the very bottom of the church - gates. This is how the church turned out. You can watch the video below for more details.
I would also like to talk about this method of drawing as a pencil sketch. It is good when you draw from life (option - looking at a photo). You don't have to think about constructions, you just draw what you see.
You can start from the base, it’s easier to maintain the proportions.
We continue to build the building from the bottom up (as the builders built it).
You don’t have to worry about the cleanliness of the lines; this is not required from the sketch.
Once the building is mostly shown, you can work on the details without fear of them moving out of place.
The level of detail depends on your visual acuity and the purpose of the drawing.
Let's start the outline drawing. To begin with, let’s designate the domes of our temple and immediately draw a cross, since this element is the main one.
Now let's mark the main entrance to the temple. And we will gradually begin to come up with ways to decorate the facade (the front part of our building).
The third stage, like the first, is one of the most important. A lot will have to be done here. Let's draw small narrow windows in the upper part of the temple, under the dome. Let's shade the sky above the church, since the temple and the sky are inseparable things. And we will begin to draw elements that are called the infrastructure of the drawing - we will install two lanterns on poles in front of the temple.
Now let's complete the drawing. This will be quite painstaking, but interesting job on the design of the building.
Very beautiful temple draw turn out according to these drawings. Of course, this is a rather difficult task, I will say from my own experience that a ruler will make the task easier, although of course it is not correct to draw with a ruler, but all the windows and walls will be perfect. I often make such objects for various applications, I need precision.
St. George's Cathedral is drawn with a pencil step by step quite simply, the main thing is to draw all the small details. We start with three lines.
Let's finish drawing the rest of the base lines.
Now we draw out small details, add shadows. text on hover
Depicting architecture requires a lot of effort. For beginners, this is not as difficult as portraits, for example. This is because painted buildings are perceived differently from people we know, and here mistakes are less visible. I will show you how to draw the Assumption Cathedral step by step. I prohibit using a ruler or any other tools that make it easier to draw straight lines! Learn to draw by hand. When your hand gains experience and confidence, you can use any techniques. Now draw the cathedral on your own!
Step one. We will show on paper the place where the cathedral and trees will be located. 
Step two. We draw the main components of the building. 
Step three. Let's detail each of these parts. Take your time, carefully work out every detail: crosses, domes, windows and even trees. 
Step four. To make the landscape realistic, we’ll add the background and shadows. 
Check out my other tutorials on drawing buildings, they are even better:
This lesson is quite complicated, because to draw a temple with a pencil step by step, you will need a lot of time and patience. There is a lot in this drawing small parts, which are the architectural decorations of the temple. Despite the fact that when drawing they most often do not use a ruler, we still really need it. A temple is, first of all, an architectural structure, which means its design consists of many clear and straight lines. To convey them more accurately, we need a ruler.
On our website you can also learn to draw Easter cake with eggs- drawing of medium complexity and drawing for Easter- a fairly simple drawing.
So, let's start drawing the main lines of the future temple with a pencil. If you doubt that you can correctly transfer the proportions onto paper, then simply measure all the lines with a ruler and transfer them in the appropriate ratio to the paper.
Now let's draw a block on top and a small narrow rectangle at the bottom. We highlight each new element in red to make it easier for you to draw each new element.
Now let's draw two rectangles on the left and right, and also in the middle we need to draw several geometric shapes, which will be the basis of the middle part of the temple.
We add windows - there are 10 of them and they are all in the shape of an arch; we also add elements at the very top.
In this picture we add a few more decorative elements.
Now we draw the domes - this is one of distinctive features temples and churches from other buildings. At the end of each dome we will draw a circle, on which we will then draw a cross.
In this step we need to draw a lot of columns. They are located both on the left and on the right, and there are also a lot of them in the center of the temple - look carefully at the enlarged hint so as not to miss anything.
We decorate the upper part of the temple with elements.
At this stage, we will draw decorative elements on each column of the temple with a pencil. We will also add one internal arch in each of the ten windows.
Well, the temple is ready. Now you can start coloring it.
