A Guide On How To Draw Scenery

By Lisa Perry


Sketching a scenery like a forest or a small down is extremely fulfilling because it can give viewers a chance to see a normal everyday scenery at a whole new different light. Now if one would want to sketch this kind of drawing, there would be a systematic way to do it. One will learn how to draw with this guide for beginners.

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.

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.

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 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.
