The 4th Day of the Creation

Begin with a light pencil sketch outlining the horizon line, the positions of the sun and moon, and the general shapes of the mountains.

Carefully draw the radiating lines emanating from the sun and moon, ensuring they are evenly spaced and consistent in thickness.

Start filling in the dark areas of the sky and the shadowed sides of the mountains with black ink or paint.

Use hatching (parallel lines) to create the mid-tones on the mountains, varying the density of the lines to suggest form and light.

Employ cross-hatching (intersecting lines) in the darker areas to deepen the shadows and create more contrast.

Add details such as stars, planets, and the comet in the sky.

Refine the linework, ensuring clean and crisp edges throughout the composition.

Erase any visible pencil lines once the ink or paint is dry.
