Hi Preeti,
I was wondering how you drew the curved lines from the dome ?
With a pair of compasses or some sort of curved ruler ? or did you make a grid on your paper and the photo?

Teacher Plus@xinx Hello Frank, for such tricky domes, I generally use French curves with grid lines. I divide the whole dome into smaller grids and marks the intersections, both on reference and drawing paper. It's time consuming but results are very accurate. I hope this helps. Let me know if you're working on a drawing which involves dome, I would love to help.
