A tunnel is a horizontal or inclined underground structure, whose length is much greater than its width and height. This structure is intended for transportation, water conduit, urban utility network or industrial enterprises. Tunnels on roads serve as a means to overcome various kinds of obstacles or develop an underground path. Special tunnels, such as wildlife walkways, are built to allow wildlife to safely cross man-made fences. Tunnels can be connected to each other to form a tunnel network.

Tunnel Drawing Step by Step

Step 1. Draw the frame.
To draw the frame, you need to draw a rectangle using four lines.

Step 2. Add the side edges of the tunnel entrance.
To complete this step, you need to draw four parallel vertical lines.

Step 3. Sketch the tunnel entrance arch.
Using two arcs of different sizes, join the previously drawn lines together.

Step 4. Describe the path leading to the tunnel.
You need to draw two oblique lines and connect them with a horizontal line.

Step 5. Draw the outline of the exit from the tunnel.
To draw another arch, you need to add an arc and lines above the horizontal line.

Step 6. Add light sources in the tunnel.
Above the arch drawn earlier, depict four different sized shapes with circles.

Step 7. Draw a line on the way to the tunnel.
To complete this step, you need to draw two slightly diagonal lines of the same length.

Step 8. Correct the inaccuracies.
Now you can take the eraser and erase the extra lines.

Step 9. Color the picture.
To color the tunnel, you should use yellow, brown and various shades of gray.
