1. Set the glowing base for your aurora sky

This step-by-step guide reveals how to color the northern lights with depth and elegance. Using a gradient layering technique, soft transitions, and shimmering highlights turn a simple sky into a breathtaking aurora.

1.1 Step 1: Begin with a warm neutral background

Start with soft yellow rays to sketch the light’s gentle path across the sky. These strokes act as the aurora's foundation, warm, subtle, and full of promise.

1.2 Step 2: Add dreamy pastel tones

Blend in a lighter blue like G320 or G340 along the edges of the yellow strokes. Let the colors softly merge, creating that ethereal feeling of light dancing in the atmosphere.

1.3 Step 3: Deepen the contrast with twilight blues

Introduce a deeper tone like PB72. Apply it to the upper edges and corners to mimic the cool intensity of night. The contrast enhances the movement of the lights and sets the scene’s tone.

1.4 Step 4: Highlight with icy glow and transitions

Layer an even darker blue or blue-green tone to deepen the sky further. Let the transition between shades remain soft and blended, like light naturally fading into shadow.

1.5 Step 5: Add shimmering accents and reflections

Use a White gel pen to draw a smooth, curved highlight through the center. Gently blend the edges with a marker or cotton swab for a dreamy, misty glow.

1.6 Step 6: Frame the glow with subtle corner accents

Use colored White Acrylic Markers to reinforce the flow. Vary the shades and thickness for natural variation and dancing light.

1.7 Step 7: Final Highlights

Add short, crisp strokes and dots with a White gel pen. These accents bring out the shimmer, mimicking how the northern lights flicker across the sky.
