After a pencil sketch is drawn, the sky and background mountains are added first
STEP 2
A small amount of definition is then added to the mountains and hills as well as light and shadows. A rough outline of trees is added to the next closest plane.
STEP 3
Some low lying clouds are added in the distance and a medium level of detail and color are added to the trees. A place for a wandering stream is left open.
STEP 4
Here's where the magic starts :)
Bright sunlight splashes through the woods.The trees, leaves and grass come alive with color. Larger and more detailed trees are added.
STEP 5
Grass and a cabin shape are added to the foreground and water to the stream. Some rocks and a canoe are now present as well.
STEP 6
More detail is given to the cabin and the foreground landscape. Ripples and reflections are also added to the water. A few beams of sunlight are added that burst through open spaces between the trees.
STEP 7 Finished!!
A fisherman with a beautiful view is added as a final detail. His size accentuates the scale of this scene and adds to the overall depth of the piece.
