Simple sand tutorial

Its really simple and I hope its obvious what steps I took.
basically:
Pencil: Dark then a bit darker, then lighter than the base colour.
Spray brush: Dark, darker, lighter, base, lighter, dark.
So its more evened out in the end.
The ocean was a silly space filler.
its not that good. xD
I guess it looks like sand?

This can be used in MOST programs, hun.
I believe most of them have a pencil and a pixelated air brush tool thingy?
so please don't use. "I would try this but I don't use MS Paint"
Because these tools are the basics in like any program, lols.

injoy? c
