Drag the layer under all the other Earth layers so that this one is the first. Add another layer and use the 'Solid Fill' option from the Paint Bucket to make the layer navy blue.

Right now it seems way too bright, so we'll level down the transparency of the layer down a bit.

Drag until the lighting seems to match on the planet. On one edge of the color picking line, pick white, and on the other side, pick a bright blue. Use a slightly darker green for the shadow of the continents in another layer.Ĭlick on the Paint Bucket in the toolbar above, and use the 'Radial Fill' option to fill in the color of the Earth's water. For the circle outline of the Earth, make a new layer for the Earth's outline, use the 'Circle Ruler' option on the toolbar above, adjust the size, then use it to trace. You could use it a bit as a guideline, but try not to be that dependant on it- you'll live! Use a bright neon green for the land on one layer and a bright neon blue for the outline of the water on another layer (Check the picture for reference). Now go to File -> Add Image, and add the image you chose, which will appear on its own layer. If you're not that good- like me, go surf the amazing internet for some lovely stock photos and pick one of the many that look pretty much the same. If you're really good at drawing the Earth's complicating continents and it's shape- go ahead! Impress me!
