![]() ![]() Make sure you leave the places where you want clouds to be blank. Work your way down to the middle of the portion of sky, decreasing your pressure as you work downward. Take your medium blue, and lay it in near the top of your drawing with medium pressure. Now that the mountains are done, we can move onto the sky. This will make it look like the green fades into the blue.Īwesome! You’ve now completed the hardest part of the drawing. Then take your light blue and press hard as you color in the background mountains, and add some blue into the foreground mountains as well. As you get closer to the mountains in the background, press lighter on the pencil the further back you go. Press hard on your light green to get the best effect. ![]() With your lightest green, overly all the other coloring you did on the mountains closest to you. This next step is fairly easy, and all you need is your light green and your lightest blue. Next, go over the mountains furthest from the viewer with your light blue. Then take your medium green and repeat that process over the whole mountain range, leaving white spaces as needed to define one mountain from another. To make the mountains appear to have trees on them, rather than just green hills-take your dark greens/blues, and use a circular or almost scribbling motion in your darkest areas. Darken in the shaded areas with your navy blue as needed. Use the medium blue to lightly fill in the mountains furthest away from the viewer, then use the medium green and repeat the same process. Take your medium green and overlay the dark green you just did and use this green to add texture to the mountains. Try to vary your pressure to get different intensities of the color your using. With your darkest green, overlay the areas where you already established the shadows with your navy blue. Next, you will need your darkest green, a medium blue, and a medium green (or pure green). If you need to differentiate one mountain from another, be sure to leave a gap in your shading that shows that change. Try and add your dark blue color to anywhere on the mountain that looks like it needs a dark shadow. The shadows on the mountains behind it are going to be the same color, but you’re going to press down lighter on your pencil. Right away you can see that the closest mountain has the darkest shadow, so that’s where you’re going to use the most pressure. Take the darkest blue you can find (I used a navy blue) and begin shading the darkest parts of the mountain-leaving spaces where the light breaks though the clouds. Now that we have the sketch done, we can jump right into the colors. It would also be a good idea to draw in some guidelines where the cloud shadows fall on top of the mountains. Today you’ll start with the rocks and bushes in the foreground, then you’ll sketch the outlines of all the mountains. The first thing you want to do when drawing a landscape with colored pencils is sketch an outline of everything that you’re going to be drawing. So, we will get started with this beautiful landscape! In the fall season, this view is absolutely gorgeous, but drawing mountains with multicolored leaves would be much more difficult. I took this photo from the top of the Peaks of Otter in Virginia, not far from where I live. The Prismacolor Premier set of 72 color pencils (that is what I used, but if you don’t have them, you can just try and find the colors listed above in any set of colored pencils.) There’s just something so majestic about them.Īt least 3 shades of green color pencils(dark, medium, light)ģ shades of blue color pencils(dark, medium, light)ģ shades of gray color pencils(dark, medium, light) That’s why today we will be drawing one of my favorite things in nature-mountains. We take photos of the earth’s natural formations and we try to capture the silent beauty in our art. We are fascinated with the beauty of nature and why shouldn’t we be? Nature is the world’s purest, and oldest form of art-art, created by the hand of God. I’m sure you’ve seen many beautiful pictures of at least one of these landscapes, whether it was on Instagram, Facebook, or Pinterest. A forest trail, a snowy slop, a deep green mountain range. ![]()
