let's draw a simple sky: twilight

keirajo

I have not yet gotten around to coloring any of my lingering artworks in my folders, so...........besides "Lemonade", I don't have new art to post this week. I thought I'd do a tiny "how to" of how a do a digitally simple sky background. Anyone can do it really! :D

Twilight Sky: a twilight-colored sky can be hues of purples and even dark oranges. Usually dawn and sunset (twilight) may look similar, but it might be nice to differentiate it with "I'll draw dawns with reds" and "I'll draw twilight with purples" if you feel like it. Like dawn skies, twilight skies may also still have a few stars that you are able to see, as well.

1--choose the color you want and look for the hues of that color. Make the swaths across the background of the sky like shown here.

2--using the "blend" tool in whatever program you have, softly blend out the lines between the hues of the colors so that your sky seems to naturally go from lighter on the horizon to darker at the top of the page.

3--As you can see here, I used another spraycan brush called "droplet"...to splatter a few stars in the sky. Stars will probably be more visible the darker the sky is, and less visible the lighter the sky is...so fewer stars near the horizon. You can also blend out/fade stars using the "blur" tool, to make stars seem less visible.
