Colored pencils are excellent for the detailed sun rays and blending in the sky. Fine-tip markers can be used for crisp lines on the crosses and grass texture. Soft pastels or watercolor pencils can create beautiful, smooth gradients for the expansive sky.
Start with the sky, using light pressure for smooth gradients. Use a limited palette of 3-4 colors for the sky and ground. Work from lighter to darker shades. Take breaks to maintain focus on the detailed rays.
Create a dramatic sunrise/sunset effect in the sky using blending techniques with 3-5 shades. Use cross-hatching or stippling for texture on the grassy mound. Experiment with backlighting effects around the soldier's silhouette. Consider using a light source for the sun to make the rays pop.

A solemn scene depicting a lone soldier's silhouette standing in a field of grass, facing a radiant sunrise. The soldier, wearing a helmet, stands centrally in the midground, holding what appears to be a rifle. In the foreground, several cross-shaped grave markers are scattered amongst the textured grass. Behind the soldier, a large sun rises on the horizon, emitting numerous straight rays that extend upwards and outwards across the sky. A few wispy clouds are visible in the upper sky, and rolling hills are faintly outlined in the distant background.
