This family history website illustration features Skyline Picture Tubes 2. Easy to use. I used a set of curves created by the Waving script and followed those to get a line. I use four layers of building’s reducing the size by 50 pixels as they receded. The buildings were then merged in with their grey layers. I picked out windows in orange. I duplicated the layers and converted the duplicates to whitish and raised them a little above the main layer to give a snow impression
I added a dark blue sky and thought about snow but in the end went for a string of stars. I duplicate this line and heavily blurred the bottom, layer to create a glow.
The numbers 1, 2 and 3 were made using the Paintshop Christmas 7 snow on lettering tutorial.
