How to Draw a Bay Window

Video Transcript

"Hello there! I'm Ralph Papa from papagallery.com, and today we're learning how to draw. In this clip I'm going to show you how to draw a bay window, and we're going to start off with a rectangular shape which would be the center window because we're going to be looking at this window straight on, so I'm drawing a nice rectangle like that. And then we're going to have two side windows that are sort of coming out to us, so we're going to draw an angle like this down on the bottom here and we'll do the opposing angle over here on this side. Now vertically, because we're going to be looking straight out on this window, on the top we're going to have lines like this, and then when we close it off like this, and this, and this, it almost looks like a tunnel effect here. Now I'm going to draw the actual window in here, because there's usually a molding around it, and we'll put two windows, two panes of glass like that, and then we're going to put a pane of glass in on the side window like this. The same over here, we're going to bring this in, so we're going to see a window here, a window here, here and here. Now to really make it look like it's on a wall, and this is from inside the house, we're going to draw the rest of the room. So we'll just draw and continue out the rest of the room like that. And we can even put a dining room table over here next to it, and just put it out on the floor like that. So here we have a table with a nice bay window in the kitchen and we can even put a little potted plant here right on the windowsill and a little flower like that. Just accent the table in, and we can put a little tone on the walls just to sort of close them in, and I use the charcoal on this because it covers a lot of ground really nice and fast and you're able to put some nice value in there to give it a surface. And if we had more time we can make this a real nice finish effect darkening some of these surfaces in here to give it some depth, there we go. Little lines like this give the feeling that it's glass. And there we have a bay window! This has been Ralph Papa, and thank you for watching."
