    It should look like a door, but make it relatively small on your paper, since you still need to add shapes of the other dominoes.
  2. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/7\/74\/Depth-Step-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/7\/74\/Depth-Step-2.jpg\/aid1501007-v4-401px-Depth-Step-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":443,"bigWidth":401,"bigHeight":386,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/2.5\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    This will give your domino depth, make it look more three-dimensional than it did before.

    Simply repeat the first two steps of the process, but overlap each domino that you add to the one before it.
  4. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/8\/88\/Onefalling-Step-4.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/8\/88\/Onefalling-Step-4.jpg\/aid1501007-v4-401px-Onefalling-Step-4.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":443,"bigWidth":401,"bigHeight":386,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/2.5\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Make it look as though it's pressing against the last domino you drew, trying to push it away.
  5. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/e\/e3\/Falling-Step-5.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/e\/e3\/Falling-Step-5.jpg\/aid1501007-v4-401px-Falling-Step-5.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":443,"bigWidth":401,"bigHeight":386,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/2.5\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    This domino should be slanting even more steeply, however, nearly parallel to the ground.
  6. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/c\/cd\/Symbols-Step-6.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/c\/cd\/Symbols-Step-6.jpg\/aid1501007-v4-401px-Symbols-Step-6.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":443,"bigWidth":401,"bigHeight":386,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/2.5\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Remember, they go from zero to six. Also remember to draw the dividing line in the middle.
  7. Use a contrasting color for the details.
    Step 7 Use a light orange for the pieces themselves, and black ink for the dots.
