Hello~ This is Moonlichi, an illustrator.

Today, I will introduce how to draw a starry sky that even beginners can easily use Clip studio paint.

I drew an illustration of a canned star. Using the making of this illustration, I will show you how to make a starry sky, a diamond star, and a water surface that reflects the starry sky that can be used in various scenes. Anyone can do it easily, so please watch until the end and let's make a starry sky illustration together.

How to draw a starry sky for background

First, I will create the background night sky.

It's easy to make. Pick a few blues you like and create a gradation from dark to light. To make the stars stand out more, start with a blue color that is close to black. It doesn't matter what color you use. This is your choice.

You can use any kind of brush, but this time I chose a brush that can bring out the texture. After roughly placing the colors, use the color mixing tool to mix them together and you're done.

I want to keep the texture, so I select the color mixing tool "Mix while keeping the texture".

Next, use the Prism Brush to draw the stars.

If you move the brush with the waves in mind, you can see the distribution of stars naturally. If you like, reduce the brush size, add stars, and you're done.

how to make a diamond star

Fill with light blue with high saturation and lightness.

Other colors are fine, but it is better to choose a color with high saturation and brightness as much as possible for a beautiful finish.

Create a new layer and clip it to the solid layer.

Add sparkle with the “Aurora Dark-S” brush. Adjust the size of the brush to your liking.

After filling the star, set the blending mode to "hard light" to make it shine like a diamond mode.

Create a new layer and clip it to the solid layer. Then add glitter with the Aurora Dark-S brush. Adjust the size of the brush to your liking. After filling in the stars, set the blending mode to hard light, add another new layer below the solid layer, and add light with an air gun brush. Adjust the layer transparency to your liking and you're done.

How to make a water surface that reflects the sky

Finally, we will create a water surface that reflects the starry sky. Create a gradation in the same way as the background.

Add stars with the Milky Way brush. I want to add depth, so I will add stars in separate layers.

Adjust the blending mode for each layer to hard light, vivid light, hard mix, etc.

I want to draw ripples and make them look like they are shining, so I select a color close to white in the layer properties and add a border.
