Now I start to draw trees.

 

 

First draw trunks at front by using the trunk brush.

Make a new layer below and draw bush.
Bushy leaves (black) brush and Black grass brush are used.

Now hide the “Ground” layer (transparent part is displayed).
There is a white background for this brush.
Use this white background to increase working efficiency.

Make a new layer under the trunk and bush,
and draw tree in the back with “trunk, branch, root” brush in “small” and “smallest” size.

Since the trees in the back are hidden under the white background of trunks and bushes,
you can save more time and effort.

Create a new layer below in the same way and draw bushed at the back.
Dividing it into multiple layers (as long as you can understand) will make editing later.
※Bushy leaves (black) brush and Sketching style hatching brush are used.

Put a little of hatching accent in front of the bush.
Add white borders to both sides of the trees in front,
emphasize the shape and give perspective.

In order to express the sunlight, take a selection range of shining light.

Paste a white tone in the selection area and made a thin shiny light.

 

To emphasize the light to be further inserted from above, blur the top of the back trees with white.

It is completed with white light lines and light balls.

Here is the final layer composition.
If you divide the layer into multiple layers (as far as you can figure out) it will be easier to edit later.

You can merge the layers after editing.
