Draw a sunset, from blended sky to hard silhouette

Turn a sunset drawing idea into a finished image with Morphic's Image tool, from a marker sky with blended orange bands to a soft pastel-pencil horizon over water. Choose the palette, the band gradient, and how much foreground silhouette sits in front, then refine the drawing on the Canvas.

FAQs

What colours should a sunset drawing use?
Name them in order from the horizon upward, warm to cool. Yellow into orange into coral into violet is a reliable run. Listing the order matters more than the exact colours.
How do I blend a sunset sky smoothly?
Say which medium does the blending. Alcohol markers, burnished coloured pencil and wet-on-wet watercolour all give soft transitions, while flat vector bands deliberately keep hard edges.
What should I put in the foreground of a sunset?
Something flat and dark. Palms, a treeline, a skyline or a pier read as solid silhouette against a bright sky, which is what makes the sky look luminous.
How do I draw the reflection of a sunset on water?
Ask for a broken path of light running from the sun toward the viewer, made of short horizontal strokes that widen as they come forward, rather than a mirrored copy of the sky.
Can I draw a sunset in black and white?
Yes. Ask for graphite or charcoal and let tone carry the light: a pale sky lifted with an eraser, a dark shaded land, and the sun as the brightest untouched area.
Can I use a sunset drawing as a print?
Yes. Download the finished image in HD. A flat banded poster treatment holds up best at large print sizes, since it has no fine texture to lose.
