In any picture where the sky is visible, it is, of course, behind all other features, so it is normally drawn first. In the drawing I selected for this demonstration, there are numerous tiny points of sky peeking through, defining the areas of separation of leaves on the trees. I decided to use cloud blue to start coloring in those areas. This isn't the color that I want the sky to be, eventually; but it's a nice basic light blue color to use as a base. I used vertical lines to fill in all of the visible sky areas.
I then used dark brown to locate and define the small branches and the future black areas of the aspen trees. Again, the color will be adjusted as the drawing progresses. These lines are drawn following the flow of the branches. I used a fairly light pressure because my immediate goal is simply to define these features in order to help establish the perspective of the drawing.
