Introduction
This is the final result we will create today, a snowy village scene at sunset, with a reddish purple sky, mountains, warm wooden houses with windows, and smoke from chimneys. Everything is in Krita, free. Let's start. Hello! In this tutorial, we will draw a snowy village sunset scene in Krita. The key is in the layer order, from the farthest to the closest. Press Ctrl N, change the width to 3200, and the height to 1800 pixels, ratio 16 to 9.
Step 1: New document 3200 x 1800 pixels (16:9)
Click Create, then press minus so the canvas looks complete.
Rename the layer to Sky. Set the foreground color to purple and the background color to light pink. Select the Gradient Tool, then drag from top to bottom. The sunset sky is done.
Step 3: Layer "Mountains" - Polygon Tool no outline
Create a new layer named Mountains. Select the Polygon Tool, then in the Tool Option Set Fill to Foreground Color and Outline to No Outline. Click the points to form the mountain shape, press Enter. Add a darker side for the shadow.
Step 4: Layer "Distant Village" - houses & small pines in pale colors
Next layer, Far Village. Create small houses and pine trees with a pale color. Objects that are far are always paler and blend with the sky.
Create the left house layer. With the rectangle tool, create the chimney and wooden wall. Then with the polygon tool, create the front triangular wall and thick snow roof.
Add two orange windows, as if lights inside are on. Then create the snowy pine tree from stacked ellipses, with a purple shadow on the right side.
Step 7: Layer "Hill" - layered snowy hills, back to front
Create the hill layer. Draw snow-covered hills using the polygon tool, starting from the farthest one. The left hill covers the lower part of the house, making the house appear to stand on top of the hill.
Step 8: Front hill darker (depth effect)
Add a front hill with a darker purple color. This color difference gives a sense of depth.
Step 9: Layer "Right House" - main walls & roof
Create the right house wall. Create the chimney, wooden wall, and foundation, then a wide snow roof.
Step 10: Front triangle (able) 4 thick snowy edges
Add a front wall triangle, then a thick snow edge on top of it, like a roof covered in snow.
Step 11: Loft window # lit window
Create a small attic window, then a warm front window.
Step 12: Layer "Bush" - front snow & round bushes
Create the shrub layer. Add snow in front of the house, then round shrubs using the ellipse tool.
Step 13: Layer "Tree" - dark trunk in front
Create the tree layer, then draw a dark tree trunk on the right side. Dark objects in front make the scene feel more depth.
Change the color to orange, enlarge the brush, and click on each window for a glowing light effect. Finally, add thin pinkish clouds.
