Start with a horizontal line for the horizon, then sketch the outline of mountains using triangles. Use a light pencil to create gentle curves for the hills in the foreground. Once the basic shapes are established, layer in shading with varied pressure to create depth in the mountains and use soft strokes for the sunset sky. Blend colors for a smooth gradient effect.
This easy mountain landscape drawing introduces beginners to landscape composition and shading techniques. The combination of sharp mountain peaks against a soft sunset allows artists to practice contrasts and perspective. This sketch is ideal for developing skills in landscape drawing, where understanding light and shadow is essential, making it a rewarding project for art newcomers.
