How to Draw a Drum
The Simplest Lesson on How to Draw a Drum in 9 Steps
I prepared a new lesson on how to draw a drum. This is a popular shock tool that has a big story. In all parts of the globe, drums are used during ritual rituals or military processions. Currently, the drum is used as part of many musical ensembles.
The drum has a cylindrical shape. The sound is extracted using a wooden wand over the drum surface. The hull of the drum can be made of various materials – from wood, plastic, or metal. The leather or plastic membrane is stretched from above. In the picture, you see that the drum is beautifully decorated and has bright colors.
Do not worry if you have never previously draw this musical instrument. The lesson is built in such a way that any child and a novice artist will draw a drum easily and quickly.
