Creating railings on the bridge

Another feature of this bridge is the railings on the side. I've covered the railing up here elsewhere but right here is this little railing on the side. Getting a little close you see that these little uprights are getting smaller as they're getting further away, as is the bar on top of them. It's getting thinner as it gets further away, really thick towards this end. Now this is a case where Photoshop couldn't quite do what I need here. I could go in there and start making all these, but it's too time consuming. This is where Illustrator comes in. Let me go to Illustrator and what I do here is I create Toolbar let's go here nice and close and I create one row of little uprights and what I do is I simply go in and click and come down, click and drag go across click and drag go straight up and close. So there's one, okay? We inverse this, and we say, give it another stroke. So there's one little shape, right, that's one. And we might just to be safe, we could make it a little longer…
