Introduction: Today we will look at how to make a drawing look like there is a foreground and background.

Start by drawing the skyscrapers along the bottom of the paper. These “first” buildings should touch the bottom of the paper. Fill in the details now or leave until later.
Next, draw a highway behind the skyscrapers (remember when it crosses a building it should stop and start at the other side so it looks like it went behind!) and then more skyscrapers and buildings behind the raised highway.
The amount of detail is completely up YOU. Go wild!
Coloring takes a LONG time, so not everything needs to be colored. Black and white can be just as effective!
Use the example below as a launching point. We can't wait to see what you come up with!

If you’d like to share your portraits with us, send a picture to your teacher’s email. We’d love to see your art!
