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.

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.

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.

Of course the biggest structures would be the ones that are farthest from the focus point. These would be the things that, from the point of view of the artist, are near him or zoomed in. So whenever one would create a scenery type of sketch, he has to remember these things.

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.
