A way into the drawing

Establish the main shapes
Place two parallel barrel cylinders.
Connect the structure
Join them with the bridge and add the smaller eyepieces.
Develop the drawing
Refine the clear outer contour, add only the most useful interior details and place a few small local shadows. Leave most of the paper open.

A small thing to tryKeep both barrels aimed in the same direction.
