Steps:

![Step 1](https://static.crayola.ca/uploads/1c96db2e7cea982c87ead14a1f5b9e31-stepSml.png)
- Before beginning your perspective drawing use the Coloured Pencil Techniques worksheets to explore ways to use the coloured pencils. (Downloads - ColouredPencilWorksheet.pdf)
- You will use some of these techniques to colour your perspective drawing.

![Step 2](https://static.crayola.ca/uploads/46fae0abfb591ff0949ea6fbafa0be1e-stepSml.png)
- Choose a photocopy of one of the train track pictures.
- Cut out a small section of your picture that includes a segment of the track.
- Glue it to your paper.
- Make sure you place it on the paper in a spot that matches its placement in the photograph,e.g.
- If you cut out a section that includes the horizon line, make sure you glue the section where the horizon line will be in your drawing.
- If you cut out a section that is in the foreground of the photocopy, make sure you glue your section in the foreground on your paper.

![Step 3](https://static.crayola.ca/uploads/f32329ba34bd13b320013e1f3d092191-stepSml.png)
- Find the vanishing point on your drawing.
- Place your ruler along one of the tracks.
- Lightly draw a line extending the track in both directions
- Repeat for the other track.
- The spot where the 2 lines meet is the vanishing point.

![Step 4](https://static.crayola.ca/uploads/fc49908c47ba90dd0c7546f443e4bc65-stepSml.png)
- Find the horizon line on your drawing.
- It is the horizontal line that passes through the vanishing point.
- sometimes called the eye-level line
- the line where the sky and earth seem to meet
- parallel to the bottom of the paper - Draw the horizon line across your whole paper.

![Step 5](https://static.crayola.ca/uploads/c37268cc2f6dca417d3e6e05184744ed-stepSml.png)
- Place your ruler along one of the tracks.
- Line it up with the vanishing point.
- Draw a line extending the track to the bottom edge of your paper.
- Repeat for the other track.
6
![Step 6](https://static.crayola.ca/uploads/bf82092caed252f3741180483380d63e-stepSml.png)
- Draw the objects that are parallel to the picture plane and closest to the viewer first, e.g.,
- the face of a building
- the track ties
- the trunk of a tree - Draw all vertical and horizontal lines parallel to the side or bottom of the paper.
- Draw the railway ties closer and closer together as they recede into the distance.

![Step 7](https://static.crayola.ca/uploads/8e43ad9b6e38a7167f99ba7fb7f0f715-stepSml.png)
- Use your ruler to line up the top and bottom of the ends of objects so they converge with the vanishing point, e.g.,
- the sides of the house
- the roof line
- the top of the door - Draw the lines carefully to make sure the angles are correct.
- Add lots of details to your drawing to make it interesting.
- Erase any guide lines.

![Step 8](https://static.crayola.ca/uploads/e369359a348ecb391615c49934115865-stepSml.png)
- Use a variety of coloured pencil techniques to colour your drawing.
- Remember that colour can help create the illusion of depth.
- colours of things closest to the viewer look bright
- colours in the distance look dull and pale
- details in the distance look fuzzy
- details in the foreground look sharp
