A way into the drawing

  1. Establish the main shapes

    Place the cap roof over the short wall cylinder.

  2. Connect the structure

    Add the arched door and round window following the wall curve.

  3. Develop the drawing

    Resolve the connected planes and overlaps, then build layered details and a full range of local values. Preserve clear paper highlights.

A small thing to tryLet the roof overhang the wall evenly.
