R.F.D. AMERICA
A study in creating depth with contrasting sizes of objects
STEP ONE
Draw the roadway and the distant hill in light outlinea. At the far end of the roadway, draw a cube with sharp perspective in one side converging toward point x. Draw a square the right side to make a section of a building. Slant the bottom edges of the building to follow the slopes of the hill. With a paper stomp rubbed in gray chalk, draw ruts in the snow. Keep them narrow in the distance and wider in the foreground. Let's have the light come from the upper right, so tone the left slope of the hill on which the house sits.
