How To Draw Scenery For Beginners

By Lisa Perry


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.

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 once one has already figured out his point of origin, he should mark the point of origin with a tiny dot so that he knows where it is. After that, he should light draw lines emitting from the point of origin so that he knows where to put things. One has to remember that the lines here have to be straight so that he will not have a hard time which is why it would be better to have a ruler on him.

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.

From there, one may already start adding things like trees, caves, or buildings, depending on what he wants to sketch. Now first of all, one has to remember that the focus point is the point of origin meaning that the view of the artist would be directed at that point. So everything that he would draw would have to be small if it is near the focus point. Basically his figures and structures would have to shrink the closer he gets to the point of origin.

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 most likely, one would want to add some shading so that the picture would really come to life. The trick here is to first figure out where the source of light of the scenery would come from. After that, one has to shade the part at the other side of where the light is facing.

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.
