Step by Step Guide

An hourglass is symmetrical no matter how you look at it. To me, that is what makes it so easy to draw. Of course, not everyone thinks so. In case you cannot split the symmetry, do not worry. I can help you with your hourglass drawing with some basic tips. So just follow my lead and let us get things done.

Start with the base and the top. Then add the glass and sand. Color everything, and you are done.
