Draw a straight, vertical line across the silo, and shade small dots to indicate the rivets just below the roof. Draw tubes coming from the silo, using a pair of curved lines for each. These tubes are used to move materials around the factory.

Learn More About The Factory Drawing

Factories are common aspects of the skyline in cities and towns around the world. You can learn how to draw a factory with the help of this easy architectural drawing guide.

Factories began during the Industrial Revolution. Instead of one craftsman taking time to make an object, the process was broken down into small tasks. A different person along the assembly line performed each task.

Henry Ford designed a famous assembly line in 1913. The chassis assembly of a car was reduced from more than 12 hours to about an hour and a half.

While factories created jobs and made products more affordable and attainable, they also had a negative side.

Working conditions in many factories were dangerous. And factories like the one in this drawing guide are notorious for creating pollution.

Today, changes are being made in many factories to protect workers and the environment. For example, factories like this one may place filters in the smokestacks that remove toxic materials before the steam enters the air.

What type of factory will you create? Grab your pencil and get started with this industrial cartoon.
