CHAPTER
CREATING DIGITAL LANDSCAPES B3
Learning Outcomes
The student will be able to:
set up a digital canvas to create a landscape scene.
add layers to organise different elements of their landscape.
add various elements to their landscape.
In this chapter, you will learn how to create a simple landscape drawing. A landscape
is a beautiful view of nature, like mountains, rivers, trees, and the sky. Let's go step
by step to create a stunning landscape, learning how to select the right canvas size
for your drawing, as well as how to add all the other elements that will bring your
scene to life.
SETTING UP A SCENE
Setting up your scene is the first and most important part of your drawing. This
is where you get to imagine and think about what you want to create. Before you
begin, take a moment to picture what kind of landscape you want. Will it have
tall mountains, a calm river, or a big, sunny sky? Think about how you want your
drawing to look and decide the best way to fill your canvas with colours and shapes.
Once you have your idea, you’re ready to start making your beautiful landscape.
SELECTING CANVAS SIZE
Before you start drawing, you need to decide how big your picture will be. The "canvas"
is the space where you'll create your drawing, kind of like your paper. You can choose
a small canvas if you want a smaller picture, or a bigger one if you're planning
to draw something large, like a wide landscape. For example, a common size is
8.5 x 11 inches, which is the same size as a regular sheet of paper.
