We painted on these layers with the Brush tool set to white at a low opacity to add a gentle haze. We’ve added a touch of mist in front of and behind the giraffe by making two layers, one underneath, one above. It can help a composite look more natural if you add effects and tonal shifts on top of everything, so it looks like the separate images contained within belong together.

Finally, make an HSL adjustment layer at the top of the stack and reduce the saturation. The key lies in enabling the readers who consider themselves artistically challenge to create art or game assets of their own with. The focus is on simplicity and an easy to follow approach. Drag the new layer on top of the giraffe layer and shift the colours to cyan and green to match it with the backdrop. This blog is a collection of step-by-step and video tutorials helping you learn 2D vector art using tools like Inkscape and Affinity Designer.
