-This's easy and done really fast. Just draw lines from the corners of the boxes that aren't round surfaces. Make sure not to draw the line that runs through the box, unless the object in it will be transparant. When that's done, draw the lines where the object should stop. Make sure that these lines run exactly the same as the lines a bit further on (like the roof in the example).

 * To draw halve/full circles, draw a cross in the middle of the box and draw curves from one point of it to the next using the pen tool. This's a bit tricky and demands lots of exercise. The main idea is to mirror the pixels over the line of the cross.

-Now the time's come to draw the actual picture. Draw the lines according to the frame you've set up. Choose the color you want and don't mind the priorities yet. If you have some curved lines, draw them according to the lines you've set up, but you can stray a bit off. Remember: those black lines're just guidelines. Be sure to draw every line. If a line should be black, draw over it.

-This's the moment we've all been waiting for. You're going to add the 'Sierra-touch'. The trick is to use the darker or lighter version of a color. Draw it a bit from the border and make it a whole. Fill it, then fill the rest. It's as simple as that. Same thing's for shading, but the border color should be the color of the shade then and the relief in the shaded part should have the darker version of the not-shaded color.

-First thing you should do is find out what should be on your picture. What should be in the background, what in the foreground, etc. Then comes the first thing you do in Picedit (except for opening it and starting a new pic) is setting the horizon. Draw the line where the horizon should be and remember the Y- coordinate. Then set the vanishing point. The vanishing point is the place where everything tends to disappear in if you draw the lines far enough.
