Drawing scenery is extremely interesting because it would enable one to capture on canvas what normally people would need a camera to capture. Of course in order for one to create something beautiful there are actually some steps to do so. This guide will enable one to learn
how to draw scenery the proper way.
First of all, one has to know the focus point of his scenery or the center point. For those who do not know what this is, this is basically the point of origin of the scene that one is going to sketch. One will also be basing all of the things that he will put in the drawing on this point of origin.
Now after one has already figured out what the focus point of his sketch is, then it would be best to put a dot on where the focus point is. Once one has drawn the little dot, then he should draw some lines that would emit from this point so that he knows where to place structures. Now one must remember to make sure the lines are all straight so that he will be able to properly place things in the drawing.
Now after that, one can already sketch lightly the line where the horizon would be. For those who do not know what this is, basically this is the line that separates the land and the sky or in short, the horizon. Now this will at least give the artist an idea of where he should start drawing the sky and where to end drawing the land structures.
Once all those lines have already been added, then one may already start drawing structures like buildings or some trees. The only thing that he has to remember that this focus point is where everything comes from with relation to the view of the artist. So if one would want to draw something near the focus point, he has to make sure it is small because it is not zoomed in. In a nutshell, one has to draw things smaller the closer he approaches this point.
So if the structures that are nearer to the corners are zoomed in, then the ones nearer to the focus point are the structures that are far from the artist. With this in mind, it is possible to draw in some sort of angle. So whenever one would sketch, scenery, he must take note of these principles.
Now in order to really make the sketch come to life, then it would be nice to add a little bit of shading. The one trick to doing this is to first make sure where the light would be coming from in the picture. Then the next thing to do is to shade the side that the light is not facing.
So for those who would want to sketch a portrait of some scenery, here are some tips. Sketching is not as easy as most people think it is. It is actually systematic and requires a lot of techniques.
