Hi. I'm Rosalie and I'm an artist. And I'm going to show you how to draw a metal fence. So, one type of metal fence is a chain link fence. And that has a bar on the top and on the bottom. So, you draw those with lines. And it can be as long as you want. It's the kind of fence that you see in urban environments a lot. And it has, at intervals it has vertical posts. And then it has a grid texture. This is made of all like twisted, made up out of like twisted together metal wires. And a simplified way to show it is to just do a grid texture by doing diagonal lines one way like how I'm doing. And then you would fill them in the other way. And these types of fences have all different sizes of weave. So, you know, they could vary in size from small to large, the lines, the closeness, the distance of the lines apart from one another. And you get the idea though, a chain link fence. We've all seen them. And I do it somewhat like this. Another type of fence is a, just a basically two or three rail fence. I'm doing the metal rails there and then it would have like metal vertical posts. And it would be bolted on like that. And you would see these around highways and you know, other kinds of urban places. And that's how I draw a metal fence.
