Create a new layer, lower the opacity of your sketch, and trace a clean outline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn68.picsart.com\/184427352000201.jpg?r1024x1024\" alt=\"sketch drawing outline\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn72.picsart.com\/184427403002201.jpg?r1024x1024\" alt=\"drawing celan outline\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Step_2_Add_Shadows\">Step 2: Add Shadows<\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>In additional layers, start adding shadows to your drawing using different shades of dark grey and black. Use darker colors in your foreground and lighter colors in the background to give your drawing depth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn63.picsart.com\/184427451000201.jpg?r1024x1024\" alt=\"draw shadows\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn75.picsart.com\/184427478000201.jpg?r1024x1024\" alt=\"dark and light colors\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Step_3_Fill_Background_Layer_Start_Adding_Fog\">Step 3: Fill Background Layer &amp; Start Adding Fog<\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Select your background layer, tap on the paint bucket icon, and select a dark grey color.

With a light grey brush, paint over the water using horizontal strokes. Add a bit of pale purple mist using a soft, semi-transparent brush. Select the background layer and use a soft grey brush to add shadows in the sky and at the bottom of the canvas. By darkening the edges of your drawing, you&rsquo;ll draw attention to the center of the canvas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn68.picsart.com\/184427590001201.jpg?r1024x1024\" alt=\"draw purple mist\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn64.picsart.com\/184427630000201.jpg?r1024x1024\" alt=\"darken drawing edges\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Step_5_Add_Reflections_Details\">Step 5: Add Reflections &amp; Details <\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Use a black brush with a reduced opacity to draw reflections of the trees in the water. In a different layer, draw a few trees in the background. The lighter color will make them appear farther in the background, giving your drawing depth. Use a white brush to add light to the water and the trees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn73.picsart.com\/184427671000201.jpg?r1024x1024\" alt=\"draw tree reflections\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn69.picsart.com\/184427704001201.jpg?r1024x1024\" alt=\"draw light in water\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Step_6_Add_Final_Details\">Step 6: Add Final Details<\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Use a thin black brush to add a few blades of grass to your foreground. Draw in a bit more fog, and use a semi-transparent white brush to add a few rays of light. Add the final lighting accents on the trees and figure.
