How To Draw A Mountain Step By Step?
Step 1: To draw a mountain, start by drawing a freehand triangle on a blank paper. Keep the triangle slightly curved at the top.
Step 2: Add another small triangle on the left of the first mountain, as shown in the picture.
Step 3: Now draw a bigger mountain on the right side of the already drawn mountains. The beauty of nature is that nothing is perfect. Therefore, the size and shape of your mountains can be imperfect too.
Step 4: In this step, draw mountains in the background to make it look complete.
Step 5: To complement your mountains drawing, add a sunrise to them. For drawing a sun, doodle a semicircle rising from the middle of the mountains. Follow the picture for reference.
Step 6: Now, draw a few vertical lines on the top of the semi-circle, to appear as sun rays.
Step 7: The drawing of a mountain and sunrise remains incomplete without clouds. So draw a freehand cloud on the left as presented in the picture.
Step 8: Repeat drawing a cloud on the right side of the mountains pencil drawing.
Step 9: In the final step, color the mountains in natural shades of brown and green, sun in yellow or orange and clouds in white and blue.
