Step-by-Step Guide to Coloring a Rainy Sky

 

Step 1: Lay Down the Lightest Shade B260

 

Begin by covering the entire sky with B260. This will act as the base layer and help in smooth blending markers later.

 

 

Step 2: Add the Darker Shade B290 and Blend

Apply B290 over some areas to introduce depth. Then, use B260 again to softly blend the two shades together, creating a smooth color gradient.

 

 

Step 3: Deepen with the Darkest Shade PB5

 

Now, add PB5 to the darkest parts of the sky to enhance the moody rainy day effect. Use B290 to blend PB5 seamlessly into the previous layers.

 

 

Step 4: Smooth Everything with a Colorless Blender

 

To achieve a truly seamless blend, apply a colorless blender over the entire sky. This step helps soften any harsh edges and makes the sky look more natural.

 

 

Step 5: Draw Raindrops with a White Gel Pen

 

Complete your sky tutorial by adding rain drop effects using a white gel pen. Vary the sizes and angles to create a realistic rainfall effect.

 

 

Final Result

 

Your rainy day sky is complete!
