Drawing a curved road, or any curve in general, is difficult. If you have a pen tool that can create curves, this task might not be so difficult. But getting a curved road right when drawing it by hand or using a tablet can be a real challenge.

Things You'll Need:

Things You Will Need

  • Ruler
  • Drawing Pencil
  • Protractor
  • Drawing Paper
  • Tablet
  • Pencil Eraser
  • Draw a horizon line.

    Draw a triangle with the top of the triangle touching the horizon line.

    Draw lines that extend to a point further along the horizon line from exactly parallel sides of the triangle.

    Use the triangles as guidelines for drawing the curved road.

    Trace over the guidelines in a curving motion until you have a smooth curving road.
