Painted urban or rural landscapes often feature various bridges. This special building can look graceful and weightless, or, on the contrary, give the impression of a strict and heavy structure.

Instructions
Step 1
Begin drawing a simple rural bridge by drawing two parallel lines. Connect the lines with five dashes. These dashes represent the planks that the bridge is made of. Color the boards in light brown. Draw jagged cracks on each board. Draw another line. It should be parallel to the bottom edge of the bridge. This will make the boards look more voluminous. Add five pegs to the far edge of the bridge. Connect them with a brown sagging rope. Draw two pegs at the near edge of the bridge.
Step 2
If you are going to draw a suspension bridge, first draw the location to which it will be attached. Suppose these are sheer cliffs. Connect the edges of the rocks with two closely spaced lines. They don't have to be straight. Draw them slightly curved towards the ground. Connect the lines together with numerous perpendicular lines. Paint the space between the lines brown. The plank base of the bridge is now complete. Equip it with a railing. Draw two additional parallel lines. They should be positioned slightly above the base of the bridge. Then draw rare perpendiculars from these lines down to the bridge.
Step 3
If you are drawing a beautiful medieval bridge, draw three parallel lines in the middle of the sheet. They should be close enough to each other. Fill the space between the top and middle lines with light gray. Paint over the space between the middle and bottom lines with dark gray paint. Where the bridge meets the ground, draw two tall, dark green rectangles. Fill them in with light gray circles that will act as cobblestones. The rectangles are towers. Draw one square window in each tower. Draw triangular roofs above the towers, pointed upwards. Tile both roofs. To do this, paint the scales in red. Then connect the top edges of both towers with a line. The line should hang over the bridge. From this line, lower the perpendiculars to the surface of the bridge.
