How to Draw Traffic Jam

Simple steps to draw traffic jam, based on what works in the examples above.

  1. 1 Start with the setting using two or three large shapes instead of lots of tiny scenery.
  2. 2 Add big silhouette and clear outline early — these are the features that make a traffic jam recognizable.
  3. 3 Add the main event in the middle so the prompt reads before the background does.
  4. 4 Keep it simple at first. Do not spend the timer decorating the background before the core idea is visible.
  5. 5 Practice by drawing a traffic jam in Artbitrator, where you can also watch how other players approached it.

Tip: The most recognizable traffic jam drawings get big silhouette and clear outline down early. Add those first, then refine.
