Delineating the background

Here is the perspective drawing of the castle. And all we have to do is turn it into a line drawing for the next section on Form. However, we have no indication of the background yet. And it would be helpful to have the hill, volcanoes, and water indicated in the line drawing. So let's quickly draw those in. Make a New layer and call it Background. Let's start with this far shore and the volcanoes. We don't need anything detailed for the background, just a general indication of what's here. We need the outlines of both of these volcanoes and a little something to indicate the smoke, and this smaller background, volcano. We need a little indication of the bottom of this hill, and the mount behind the castle, and a little indication of the rocks around the castle, and on this little bridge also. The water will be moving in the final plate, but it's good to give an indication of what's here and sketch in this bit of foreground water pattern and block in a little bit more of this volcano…
