Overview: Students will learn how cylinders, one of the 3 most basic 3D forms, is drawn accurately. They’ll see that even famous old masters struggled with it, while doing an exercise that helps them understand and apply a new way of looking at it. The second half of the lesson is spent filling sketchbook pages with practice drawings they get to choose reference for: from cartoons to realism, all using cylindrical objects.

Set up a still life, or several if needed, with a roll of paper towels and stripes as shown.
- Place the still life on white paper
- There needs to be enough still life setups so students are within 3 to 5 feet of the roll. 1 for every 4 students if you have rectangular tables. Maybe 5 or 6 with large round tables.
- IMPORTANT: draw a circle underneath the roll of towels. First, draw around the base in very light pencil. Then move the roll and draw inside the pencil line in sharpie marker. The roll should cover up the marker circle which which will be revealed later.
- Add two strips of colored paper stripes and secure with tape as shown below. You may tape two strips together to reach all the way around a full roll. It’s great to use unprinted towels if you can.
- Add a couple of small items around the area for early finishers.
Wrap a roll of towels with 2 strips of construction paper to make stripes like this. Secure with clear tape.

Advanced students will practice drawing cylinder shapes. They should set up their own still life using cylindrical objects of bottles and bowls, and do a detailed sketch. Provide a space and lighting so the set up can be shaded well.
Steps:
- Find objects and set up still life
- Draw 2 or 3 charcoal sketches taking only 5 minutes each – full sheet of paper
- Draw guidelines sketch very lightly
- Continue by adding details and shading, making the lines bolder as you go
Make sure they use a real plate or circle to visualize cylinder bases. Have them close one eye and move the circle up and down so they can see the changes in perspective.
Remind students that this is a very difficult thing to draw and they should always practice the basic forms: 1) Cube, 2) Sphere, 3) Cylinder.
Draw the entire “secret plate” underneath every object.

Keep up the excitement. This is an amazing technique that really helps.

[toggle title=”The Secret Plate • Tap to open – Scroll to view – Pinch to zoom” state=”closed”]
Here is a picture of a striped cylinder just like we’ve been drawing. Do you think it looks like an accurate cylinder shape? (Yes!)
[su_spacer size=”20″]
Our logical mind tells us some truths about a cylinder shape, but this is what is a logical cylinder looks like. A flat top and bottom on a flat table.
[su_spacer size=”20″]
The problem is that to see the top as flat, your viewpoint must be right at the same height. That means you can’t see both the top and bottom as flat at the same time. It’s impossible! Your eyes can’t be in two places at once.
[su_spacer size=”20″]
We can draw things like this and they sometimes look very nice and sometimes we draw this way on purpose, like last week. However, it is VISUALLY impossible from a normal distance so for accuracy, you need to draw cylinders visually true. Note: Modern photography can actually make objects look like this. They are using several photographic tricks though.
[su_spacer size=”20″]
[su_spacer size=”20″]
There are 3 reasons where logical ideas mess us up and cause artists to draw inaccurate cylinders.
[su_spacer size=”20″]
[su_spacer size=”20″]
Here is the top, and an exact copy moved down to the bottom. Seems like a great idea…
[su_spacer size=”20″]
However, it looks less accurate.
[su_spacer size=”20″]
Adding one stripe makes it easier to see how the bottom looks innacurate. If you cover up the bottom with your hand, the top looks fine. Close one eye and try it.
[su_spacer size=”20″]
[su_spacer size=”20″]
Now the top is more round. If you cover the bottom again, it seems fine to have the more rounded top, but artists often make the top too rounded.
[su_spacer size=”20″]
[su_spacer size=”20″]
The table is flat. Why isn’t the bottom flat too? It’s a logical solution, but visually inaccurate.
[su_spacer size=”20″]
Putting the two cylinders side-by-side, the logical one is very weird looking. The one on the right looks great!
[su_spacer size=”20″]
Since most artists struggle with cylinders in these 3 ways, we have a trick that makes it easier. First, let me show you the bottom of this cylinder the way it really is. It will surprise you.
[su_spacer size=”20″]
This looks crazy! But this is the top and the bottom of the accurate cylinder that you’ve been looking at. Even the artist who came up with this trick has a hard time believing that this is accurate! But it is.
[su_spacer size=”20″]
It suddenly makes all kinds of sense if you put the bottom into a different context. The Secret Plate! If you think of the bottom of the cylinder as if it were a hidden plate, you can draw it more rounded and more accurately. We can accept the much more rounded shape of a plate.
[su_spacer size=”20″]
This progression shows how the perspective of the plate changes from the bottom to the top.
[su_spacer size=”20″]
Each of those secret plates show the roundness of the stripes as well as the top and bottom. Each is slightly different! Now you know the secret plate secret trick.

“Use this paper saucer (or cut circle), and cover one eye to self-demo the concept. You’ll prove to your logical mind that the plate gets much more rounded the lower it is. It will always be hard to believe though, so never forget this trick.
Hold the plate in front of you at the same level as the top of the paper towel roll. You can see it’s flattened like the top of the towel roll.
Move it down to halfway, and see it grow dramatically in roundness! Move to the bottom, and it’s even bigger and more round. Try it a few more times slowly.”[/su_testimonial]

Gaugin struggled with cylinders and never fully understood how to draw and paint them accurately. He sometimes covered the bottoms of still life objects with cloth or other objects to hide this fact. Look for the kettle in the second image, which has a too rounded top, and a flattened bottom. Other works show flattened cylinder bottoms as well.

Paul Gaugin
Paul Gaugin was a contemporary of the impressionists, but did not stay true to the impressionists goals. He struggled early as a painter, and had difficulties making a living, but he eventually made friends with several important artists, including Eduard Degas, Camille Pissarro, and Also with Vincent Van Gogh. He had a falling out with the latter two artists, but Degas was a great admirer of his work.
His work became bolder and more outlined, and he was included in a style called, cloisonnism, which resembled enameled metals called cloisonné. Later his paintings evolved to include even more bold color, but the color did not overpower the complex compositions he favored.
Gaugin loved to travel to the tropics, going to Panama, Martinique, and eventually settling permanently in the South Pacific island of Tahiti. He is most known for his colorful tropical works later in life.

The word secret is important for engagment, and you can run with the idea that you’re a wizard of art, passing on the master alchemist’s closely guarded secrets.[/su_panel]

R O O M P R E P : Set up a still life, or several if needed, with a roll of paper towels and stripes as shown. Make sure to buy paper saucers or make cutout circles.
- Place the still life on white paper
- There needs to be enough still life setups so students are within 3 feet of the roll. 1 for every 4 students if you have rectangular tables. Maybe 5 or 6 with large round tables.
- IMPORTANT: draw a circle in sharpie underneath the roll of towels by first drawing around the base in very light pencil, then moving the roll and drawing inside the pencil line. The roll should cover up the marker circle which is revealed later.
- Add two strips of colored paper stripes and secure with tape as shown in step 1
- Make it interesting by adding a couple of small items around it.
M A T E R I A L S
- Paper towels with ribbons or paper stripes
- Still life objects
- Paper saucers or cut paper circles about 7 or 8 inches across
