How to draw an antique clock?

How to draw an antique clock is as follows:

First we draw two circles, a big circle and a small circle. Then we draw the fixed angle of the clock on the outside of the big circle and draw the bell ears on it. Then draw 3, 6, 9, 12 hours in the circle. Then we draw an hour hand and a minute hand in the middle. Finally, we color the finished clock, so that the clock is finished.

First of all, the explanation of the clock

Clock, wine vessel, also a kind of wine vessel, prevailed in Han Dynasty. Xu Shen said in Shuo Wen Jie Zi: "Clock, wine vessel. From Jin Zhongsheng. " In ancient times, there was a saying that "Yao and Shun had a thousand bells", and later "Zhong" was also connected with "Zhong".

The clock is shaped like a bottle, with a bulging belly and a thin neck, but it is bigger than the bottle. Mainly used for holding wine or storing grain. As an ancient unit of capacity, "Zhong" can hold six sticks and four buckets, usually "ten pots and one bell". Mencius said, "What's the use of ten thousand minutes for me?" To show that ill-gotten wealth is like dirt.

Second, the structure and function

A clock is a tool for measuring and displaying time. The diameter of the movement is generally greater than 50mm and the thickness is generally greater than12 mm. It is usually used in a certain position. Some modern small clocks and watches are also equipped with a watch core and a bell shell.

The development of clocks has experienced thousands of years of history (see the history of clock technology). With the continuous expansion of the scope of use, modern clocks and watches have more functions and more types. Generally, it can be classified according to vibration principle, energy and structural characteristics and main uses, and is often named by several classification methods.

Third, the classification of uses.

Can be divided into two categories: life clock and special clock (or technical clock). Different movements can be made into clocks and watches with the same use, while the basic movements with the same structure can be made into clocks and watches with different uses by adding or changing a few parts. Life clock: a clock that people use to time in their daily lives.

Including travel clock, independent desk clock, alarm clock, desk clock (see pendulum clock), torsional pendulum clock, wall clock (also known as wall clock), floor clock, tower clock, master clock, world clock, broadcast clock (used in public places, can receive the time signal sent by the transmitting station) and flower bed clock. ② Special clock: a clock with professional timing function.

Used in industry, transportation, astronomy, sports, military and other departments. Including periodic clock (indicating the error value of 50Hz frequency of alternating current in power plant), work and rest clock, attendance clock, timing switch clock, integral clock (accumulated working time), car clock, ship clock, ocean astronomical clock, tank clock, submarine clock, sports clock (see sports clock), precision pendulum clock for observatory, cesium atomic clock, rubidium atomic clock and hydrogen maser.
