A Step By Step Guide On How To Draw Scenery

By Lisa Perry


Making a sketch of some scenery is going to be extremely beautiful because it would show how the artist would perceive a certain view of scenery. Now if one would really want to capture something on paper, then there would actually be ways on how to do so. With this step by step guide on how to draw, one will know the systematic way on how to go about.

Now the first thing that one would have to remember would be the concept of the focus point. Basically, the focus point is the point of origin or the point where the artist would be looking at directly from his view. This is one of the most important concepts of all because the whole sketch is based here.

When one has already determined what his point of origin would be, then he has to mark it with a dot so that he will know where to base the drawn structures. Now in order to further make things easier later, he has to draw some lines that come from the dot. This is drawn lightly so that one will not have a hard time later on when he will be placing the structures like the buildings and others.

Next thing that has to be done would be to lightly sketch the horizon line. Basically, the horizon line would show until where the land would be and anything above the horizon line would already be the sky. Basically, this line would just indicate where the horizon of the drawing would be so that one will have an easier time with the drawing.

After all those lines, one may then add some of the structures like the people, the trees, the buildings, or the sun depending on what he would want to sketch. Now going back to the focus point, one has to make sure that everything near the focus point would be smaller than the structures near he corners. To put it simply, one should draw things smaller as he gets to the focus point. The principle behind this is that the structures nearer to the corners are zoomed in from the view of the artist.

Now the biggest structures are the ones nearest to the corner as they are far from the origin point. For those who are curious as to why, it is because it is at those points that things are zoomed in. So whenever one sketches some scenery, those are some of the things he has to remember.

Of course if one would want, then he may also add some shading to his drawing. Now if one would want to do so, then the trick here is to know where the light is coming from in the picture. Once one has already done that, he has to then shade the part that the light is not shining to.

So for the beginner artists out there, this is a very systematic way of making scenery. For those who would want to create portraits, these are actually amazing techniques on how to do so. Remember to always start with the rough draft then fill in the details later.
