Today, drawing123.com will guide you how to easily draw a telescope with simple steps.
Let’s get started!
Step 1:
Start by drawing a small, angled rectangle in the upper left area of your page. This will serve as the lens cap or the front rim of the telescope.
Step 2:
Extend a large rectangle from the back of the first shape. This forms the main body (the primary tube) of the telescope.
Step 3:
Draw a medium-sized rectangle extending from the end of the main body. This represents the second section of the telescoping tube.
Step 4:
Add two parallel lines extending from the previous section to create the final, thinnest part of the telescope tube.
Step 5:
Draw a small rectangle at the very end of the thin lines to create the eyepiece where the observer looks through.
Step 6:
Underneath the middle section of the telescope, draw a circle. This is the mounting joint that connects the telescope to its stand.
Step 7:
Draw two slanted, narrow shapes extending downwards from the mounting circle to form the tripod legs.
Step 8:
Finalize your drawing by adding color. Use yellow for the rims and joint, light blue for the telescope body, and dark blue or purple for the tripod legs.
Step 1:
Begin by drawing a small circle in the middle of your drawing area. This will act as the central pivot point for the tripod.
Step 2:
From the bottom of the central circle, draw two long, thin, angled rectangles with rounded ends extending downwards. These form the two outer legs of the tripod.
Step 3:
Draw a third leg, identical in style to the others, extending straight down from the center circle, positioned between the two angled legs.
Step 4:
On top of the central circle, draw a small, tilted rectangular shape. This creates the mount that holds the telescope tube.
Step 5:
Attached to the tilted mount, draw a medium-sized rectangle. This forms the main central body of the telescope tube.
Step 6:
At the upper, “forward” end of the main tube, draw a slightly wider and longer rectangle to form the objective lens housing (the front part of the telescope).
Step 7:
At the lower, “backward” end of the main tube, add a smaller, shorter rectangular section to represent the eyepiece.
Step 8:
Draw a long, very thin rectangle attached along the side of the main telescope body. This adds the finder scope.
Step 9:
Finally, color your drawing. As shown in the reference image, use shades of blue for the main telescope tubes and the tripod legs, and use grey for the eyepiece, the mount joint, and the tips of the legs.
Step 1:
Begin by drawing a small circle in the middle of your drawing area. Inside this circle, draw a slightly smaller concentric circle. This forms the central pivot point of the telescope mount.
Step 2:
Draw the central body of the telescope tube positioned over the pivot circles. This consists of two rectangular sections separated by a thin vertical band, tilted upwards to the left.
Step 3:
At the upper, “front” end of the tube, draw a wider and longer rectangular section. This is the housing for the main objective lens.
Step 4:
At the very front opening of the wide rectangular section you just drew, add a curved line to represent the glass lens bulging slightly outwards.
Step 5:
At the lower, “back” end of the telescope body, add a small, narrow rectangle to form the eyepiece where one would look through.
Step 6:
Directly underneath the central pivot circles drawn in Step 1, draw a small, horizontally oriented rectangle with rounded corners to form the base of the mount.
Step 7:
Extending downwards and to the right from the central mount area, draw a long, thin oval shape. This is the handle used to point the telescope.
Step 8:
From the rectangular base created in Step 7, draw three long, thin legs splaying outwards to create the tripod stand that supports the telescope.
Step 9:
Finally, color your drawing. As shown in the reference, use yellow for the main tube sections and the center pivot, blue for the connecting bands, mount base, and tripod legs, and a grey/blue for the lens, handle, and eyepiece tip.
Step 1:
Draw a large, tilted rectangle with rounded corners to start the front of the telescope barrel.
Step 2:
Draw a slightly smaller, shorter rounded rectangle extending from the right side of the first shape.
Step 3:
Add a long, thinner rectangle extending from the end of the previous shape to form the main body of the tube.
Step 4:
Add another, shorter rectangle extending from the end of the long tube section.
Step 5:
At the far right end of the telescope, draw a small, rounded rectangle to form the eyepiece.
Step 6:
On the middle section of the long telescope tube, draw two small concentric circles (a ring) to create the mounting joint.
Step 7:
Below the circular joint, draw a tripod stand using straight lines. Create an ‘A’ shape with a horizontal support bar across the middle.
Step 8:
Finally, color your drawing. As shown in the reference image, use shades of blue for the main telescope tubes and purple for the tripod legs, and use orange for the front of the telescope barrel and the eyepiece.
Step 1:
Start by drawing two small concentric circles in the center of your page to create the mounting hinge.
Step 2:
Sketch a curved, open-ended shape around the top and sides of the hinge to begin the middle section of the telescope body.
Step 3:
Extend a smaller rectangular section with rounded corners from the rear of the middle body.
Step 4:
Add a connector piece and a thick, rounded ring at the very end to represent the eyepiece.
Step 5:
From the front of the middle section, draw a larger, wider tube extending forward.
Step 6:
Finish the front of the telescope by drawing a wide outer ring and an oval inside it to form the objective lens.
Step 7:
Beneath the central hinge, add a small neck and a flat, horizontal rectangular base for the tripod mount.
Step 8:
Draw three long, slightly tapered legs extending downwards from the mount to complete the tripod.
Step 9:
Use light blue for the large front section and the rear section of the telescope tube, and medium blue for the three legs of the tripod. Use green for the middle tube section, the ring around the front objective lens, the ring around the rear eyepiece, and the outer ring of the central hinge. Color the glass of the front objective lens a very light cyan or aqua. Use grey for the center of the circular hinge, the small neck below it, and the horizontal base of the mount.
Step 1:
Begin by drawing a small, horizontal rectangle in the lower center of your drawing area. This will be the top plate of the tripod stand.
Step 2:
From the rectangle drawn in the previous step, draw three long legs extending downwards. The central leg should be vertical, while the two outer legs should be angled slightly outwards to create a stable base.
Step 3:
On top of the horizontal tripod plate, draw the telescope mount. This consists of a small curved base supporting a U-shaped bracket that will hold the telescope tube.
Step 4:
Draw the main body of the telescope. Sketch two long, parallel diagonal lines passing through the U-shaped bracket, showing the tube tilted upwards.
Step 5:
At the higher, front end of the parallel lines, draw a large, wide rectangle. This represents the objective lens shade (or dew shield) at the front of the telescope.
Step 6:
At the lower, back end of the main tube, draw a narrow vertical rectangle to form a connector ring.
Step 7:
Attached to the connector ring at the back, draw the eyepiece assembly. This is an angled, L-shaped mechanism pointing upwards, ending in a small cylinder where you would look through.
Step 8:
On the top edge of the main telescope tube, draw a smaller secondary scope. This is the finderscope, attached with two small mounting brackets.
Step 9:
Your drawing is complete. Now, add color to the illustration. Color the main tube yellow, the front shade and the eyepiece section red, and the tripod legs and mount grey.
Hopefully, this drawing tutorial on Telescope will help you easily create a nice drawing.
