Why draw the horizon first?

The horizon line sets where the sky ends and the land begins, so each layer after it sits in a clear order from far to near.

What is the difference between the styles?

Classic is a plain black outline built up one panel at a time. Guide shapes starts from light gray circles and ovals and traces the black outline over them. New lines in red shows each step's lines in red over the black lines before.

Can I ask for a different scene?

Yes. Type a different scene, such as a waterfall or a farm, and the page is built to that request. The result is not guaranteed to match the nine shown.

Are these hand-drawn?

No. They are illustrations made for this page, not scans of hand drawings.

Step sheets for school children and beginners drawing a landscape, built in layers from horizon to foreground. Each picture builds one scene in numbered panels: hills and sun first, then the river, huts or palms. The three scenes are a village with a river, mountains at sunset above a lake and a beach with a palm. Type a different scene, such as a farm or a forest, and the page is built to that request.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
