AD - Creating Depth w/ Brush? HOw?

[Affinity iPad Student]

So I created this outer space, tron neon - cyber punk landscape. 

Not my credit, I am following two videos in youtube and following along, mixing it, into one design. 

 

So here’s my issue. The steps, are explaining the images in sequence.

 

1) I created a ground grid landscape.

2) I needed to create a void separation into the ground, so I pen tool’d, and blacked it.

3) So, those are rectangles, creating that black void. Here is my issue: I need to create depth, and let some lighting in there, so it can look realistic. My mind says, use the brush.. (I’m still a noob here) so ok, if use the brush, I have the standard ones that come AD.  That said...   which brush creates like a soft lighting? as if you’re standing on ground, looking down into a hole (let’s say you’re about to spelunking) you’ll see the rocks and light, and shadows as stare into the hole. So I want to add that kinda of depth to the sides that I squiggled in green.

 

Thanks.
