Start by lightly drawing horizon lines to separate sky from land. Use gentle curves to form mountain silhouettes, layering them for depth. Keep your pencil strokes light for the underdrawing and add intensity with 2B pencils for shadowed areas. Create gradients in the sky to illustrate a sunset using soft, cross-hatching. Simplify details for a more aesthetic look and focus on atmospheric perspective to guide your scene's composition.
