Edit Steps
- 1If you don't have MyPaint, install it. It's a free program, so go ahead. There are no annoying 'extras' that you have to deal with, like in some freeware. Click on File >> New
Starting a new file - 2Consider adding brushes if you don't have very many. This screenshot shows quite a few added brushes.
Lotsa brushes - 3Decide what you want to draw. For the purposes of this article, a landscape will be created.
- 4Start layering. Drawing and painting is about layering and creatively mixing the colors. Start out working on the sky.
Looking for the color blue - 5Select a brush or brushes. Since you will be layering, you can start with one brush and switch to another to get the look you want. Paint in the sky the way you want it.
Brush 08/ab028 - 6Repeat the process for the ground. Even if you are going to have grass, you will want some 'ground' under the grass, so put that down first.
Ground and sky - 7Change the colors to a type of green and find the grass brushes. Paint one of the grass brushes until you have the coverage you want, then change colors and switch to another grass brush to change up the look. Note the hint of brown underneath. That's the ground.
Adding the grass - 8Add anything else that you want to add to your landscape. This will give you a basic image to start with.
