Simplify Your Digital Painting Process

Start your digital painting by choosing an easy reference and focus on color and process. Begin with compositional thumbnails to arrange shapes pleasingly, adjusting the ratio of ground to sky. Refine your sketch, establish perspective with tools, and block in flat shapes on separate layers. Use temperature contrasts for interest, and add form to elements like clouds and trees. Experiment with colors, refine details, and harmonize the final piece with post-processing effects.
