1. Draw a 4cm line segment to represent the 8km distance between point P and point Q (using a scale of 1cm / 2km).
2. Place point P at one end of the line segment.
3. Draw a line segment from point P in the direction of 110°.
4. Where this line intersects the line segment representing the distance, mark it as point Q.
5. Label point P and point Q.
6. Add an arrow or line segment from point P to point Q to indicate the direction.

This will create a scale drawing of point Q, which is 8km away from point P on a bearing of 110°, using a scale of 1cm / 2km.
