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.

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.

The famous San Francisco bridge is over eight thousand feet long. Wow, now that is a hike.

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.
