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.

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.

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.

After that has been done already, then one must draw next the horizon line. Now if one is not familiar with what this horizon line is, basically it is a horizontal line that would separate the land and the sky. Now this is drawn to make sure that one will have a clearer picture as to where he would draw some of the structures that would seem further away.

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 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.
