How to make

Step 1
Lightly sketch a silhouette of a person.

Step 2
Inside the silhouette, sketch a landscape such as a mountain scene. Add in tree sketches, remembering to create some perspective drawing smaller trees in the mountains further away, and larger trees closer to the edge of the paper.

Step 3

Using a thick fine liner 0.5mm, begin to outline the bottom of your sketch, using wispy strokes for the trees.

 

Choose a similar group of colours from your brush markers and start to use the lightest colours to colour your river.

Step 4
Use a darker shade to continue colouring your river in, and blend the two shades together.

Step 5

Start to add darker shades up your sketch, using fine liner as you follow the page.

 

Top Tip: Ensure your fine liner is dry before going over with brush marker.

Step 6

Continue to add highlights and shadows on your mountains. For larger areas, try not to take the brush marker away from the paper too often as this can cause uneven marks.

Step 7
Use a dark brush marker to fill in the gaps of your trees.

Step 8
Continue to outline the silhouette of your person as you go up the drawing.

Step 9
Continue to finish the top of the portrait or leave blank for an ombre effect!
