Step-By-Step
This illustration shows the sky and lightning. Some of the lightning is darker, but all are shades of pale pink, as opposed to white. This appears more realistic. The butes in the background are lighter, making them appear farther away. Both foreground and background butes were drawn using a series of connected lines, (some of which were later curved) creating a closed path.
The individual highlighted shapes were created the same way, then Combined (Joined in Xara) into one shape, and given a Linear Fountain Fill from bright pink to a deeper pink. A Linear Transparency has been applied (second example) reducing the contrast and adding an electrifying air of mystery. These highlighted sections are reflecting the glow of the lightning.
