6. Draw the third section of road traversing the third hill. Again, outline the sides of the road using parallel curved lines.
This segment is far enough away, however, that you won't be drawing rectangles. Instead, draw a series of short lines down the center of the road.

7. Next, draw a tree alongside the road. Use pairs of curved lines to outline the roots, trunk, and branches of the tree. Notice how some of the lines overlap.

Learn More About The Road Drawing
“The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
