Step-by-Step Guide

 

Step 1: Fill in the Sun with YR220

Start by applying YR220 to the sun, keeping the circle smooth and even. This warm orange shade sets a bright and cheerful foundation for the dreamy sky.

Step 2: Color the Sky with Gradient Shades

Apply colors in this order:

- V020 for the first layer surrounding the sun

- V330 to create a soft transition into a lavender hue

- B250 to deepen the sky's edges, adding a calm blue tone

Blend each color smoothly into the next to achieve a natural gradient effect.

Step 3: Add Another Layer for Better Blending

Go over the colored areas again with the same markers, applying a second layer to enhance the color depth and create a smoother transition between shades. This step makes the sky look more vibrant and harmonious.

Use V020, V330, and B250 to draw random curved lines around the sun. These soft strokes add texture to the sky, enhancing the dreamy, swirling effect.

- V020 in the middle section

- Blend with a colorless blender towards the top
