How to Draw a Gymnasium

A gym is a unique building that is very spacious and often has a dome as a ceiling. Besides the domed ceiling, drawing the interior of a gymnasium is the same as drawing the interior of most other buildings. By figuring out where the horizon line and vanishing point are, the dimensions of the gymnasium can be accurately determined.

Things You'll Need

• Drawing pencil
• Pencil eraser
• Drawing paper
• Graphics tablet
• Graphics program

Instructions

Drawing a Gymnasium

1. 

   Draw a box to serve as the back wall.

2. 

   Determine the vanishing point and then draw the lines for the gymnasium through the vanishing point. The vanishing point is the point where most of the lines intersect.

3. 

   Draw the details on the back wall.

4. 

   Draw the basic details on the side walls. Draw vertical lines directly vertical and draw the horizontal lines along the guidelines that travel through the vanishing point.

5. 

   Add more details to the drawing.

6. 

   Draw half circles for the ceiling. Add a basketball net and other features.

Drawing a Basketball Net

1. 

   Draw a box. Then draw a box within that box with the inner box almost touching the outer box.

2. Draw a box in the center that represents the backboard.

3. 

   Draw an oval. Then draw curving lines hanging from the circle. Finally draw a curving line connecting the curves hanging from the circle. The curve on the bottom should curve out, while the curves on the sides should curve in.
