Concept explanation

Scene composition is mostly drawing order. Background elements draw first, the tree draws next, and foreground details draw last.

Try it

Compose the tree with sky, sun, clouds, ground, and grass.

Code fragment

drawSky();
drawSun();
drawTree();
drawGround();

What to observe

  • Layer order decides what appears behind or in front.
  • Separate drawing functions keep the scene readable.
  • Simple shapes can change the mood of the sketch.

Small challenge

Imagine swapping ground and tree drawing order. Predict what would be hidden.
