Description: Here is a drawing tutorial that can not be found on the internet in an abundant variety, “how to draw a bridge step by step”. Can you believe that there is no good lessons that teach you "how to draw bridges" at all. I mean, you can look for yourself, there really isn’t any at all. There is so many famous bridges out there that I would one day like to see and walk or drive on. The London Bridge which is located in England is one of them, as well as the Brooklyn Bridge which is found in New York and is two hundred seventy two feet high and it was built in 1883, and the Golden Gate Bridge located in San Francisco standing at seven hundred and fifty feet high and built in 1937. Can you guess what bridge listed above is the longest in distance? Well the Brooklyn Bridge is over six thousand feet, but it is the Golden Gate Bridge that wins this time. The famous San Francisco bridge is over eight thousand feet long. Wow, now that is a hike. The bridge that you will learn how to draw, is a simple looking bridge that is commonly seen in parks, and in gardens. This is what you would call a wooden garden bridge, or a wooden walkway. I think that this bridge came out awesome and colorful. It is a perfect bridge to place in some of your garden drawings, or to be used as a walkway for a romantic couple or playing children. Drawing bridges is fun, and I had a good time with this lesson. I hope you guys will like this tutorial on “how to draw a bridge step by step”. I have to go people, but I shall return in a while.
