Drawing train tracks is a fun exercise that will help you learn perspective and to teach you make landscape drawings more realistic. Here are instructions on draw train tracks.
Instructions
1. Start by drawing a horizontal line across the paper. This is your horizon line. The horizon line separates the sky from the ground. You can place a horizon line anywhere on the paper, but since you want to draw train tracks, you should put it near the top of the paper.
2. Choose a point anywhere on the vanishing line. This is your vanishing point, which is the point where the train tracks will disappear into the horizon.
3. Draw two lines from the vanishing point to the edge of the page. The lines should be under the vanishing line. When you are just beginning to learn to draw train tracks, your lines should be symmetrical on the page coming from the vanishing point and making an upside-down V on the page. When you get the hang of it, you can begin drawing the off to one side.
4. Draw horizontal lines on the page to mark the tracks. Start at the bottom with your lines further apart. As you get closer tot eh dot, make your lines closer together.
5. Draw details in the front railroad ties to make them look more realistic and closer to you. Draw random lines and squiggles on every other space to give a look of railroad ties. Also, draw your side rails by starting at the vanishing point and drawing another line on each side of the tracks.
6. Add other features to the page to balance out the picture. In this picture, I have drawn gravel on each side of the tracks, and then grass on their side of that. Then I have added clouds to the sky.
