Painting tutorial = Sun and Sea

Tutorial

Welcome to my class, student!

Welcome back again!

This is your third lesson for drawing. This time, we prepare another

challenging part to push onto it, the sun and sea!

Well, I actually wanted to teach you how to draw sun only, and it's not included the sea. However, my mind told me that the best thing to mix with the sun is the sea! And if so really does, I must teach you how to draw the sea too!

So, the actual challenging part isn't mean hard to do it, but it means it is many steps and it become complicate instead of many work focus in one thing.

A beautiful day scenery picture, if you want to represent that it is a wonderful or happy day, then the bright sun can't be lost. Adding the sea can feel ease, wide and freedom at the same time.

So, I'll show you how do I draw the sun with that fine weather blue sky, add-on the ordinary blue sea. Be prepared and let's go!

( Careful it's a long way down there still! And some bonuses this time. )

Introduction

Sky and particals

Step 1

1. Set up your canvas as this size => 1028W x 768H

2. Paint the blue sky and some clouds

( I bet you knew how to draw these right? No? Then click the button below to learn how to draw them )

How to draw sky and clouds

Step 2 ( Skip it if you can't do it )

1. Use the Brush tool, set size as 50, color as dark green

( H: 2:003 , S: 034 , V: 074 )

2. Draw and paint the hill with some darker and lighter green and Brush

tool as Fuzystatic

I didn't meant to set both as Fuzystatic, another one below should be Leaves 5, so that's a fault. But an accidentely right fault, because that not just worked too, it became evenmore better than I expect! :D

The below one should be Leaves 5

but this shit still works though..

Yeah this one

times, but lesser than previous. Change a more bigger size and click more lesser than previous.

Step 5

1. Use the Blur tool, set size as 100

2. Full bluring the sunlight to make the sun and sunlight realistic

Step 6

Waves

Just one more step and you're done it!

Spread

3. Draw a curve line as the waves

4. Use the Blur tool, set size as 10

5. Blur the top and bottom, but not to much. The bluring direction should

be left to right

Final Progress

Bonus

Finally! The bonus! Now, I am going to tell you about the relevant of the sky and the sun. Somehow it's important, eventhough it is a short one.

The color of sky is decide by the position of sun. As the height of the sun position is going higher, means it's close to noon, then the sky should be blue. If it goes lower, that can be mean as sunrise or sunset.

But you can't quite sure about it is sunrise or sunset though. Somehow sunrise's sky can be blue too, but mostly are orange yellow.

And also, as the color of the sky has changed, everything will change the color as the sky did.

How about take a look at these?
