FAQ / Tips

  • How do I draw a crescent moon?

    • You'll need to use two overlapping shapes. If one is the color of the sky....

  • How can I make things look darker at night?

    • Two options:

      • You could make each individual part change colors, like we did in Portrait.

      • You could use transparency to make a semi-transparent dark layer on top of everything.
