9/13/2023 0 Comments Simple mountain drawing![]() The base of mountain behind should be darkened more as shown below as the top receives more Sun light. Drawing a Mountain Range is usually more visually interesting. ![]() So far we essentially drew a single mountain but same technique can be used to draw mountains that are behind and create a mountain range. Different techniques for adding background tone is discussed in my workbook. Notice how adding a background tone gives a heavier feel to the mountain. Following are some additional examples of this technique. This is a very simple but effective technique and by using different size and shape for cuts, different feel for the mountain can be obtained. Background tone also helps to bring out the form of the mountain. ![]() A bit of white can be left to create a highlight as well as shown below. This also gives a feel of heaviness to the mountain. To take it away and create a mountain with overall dark tone, you can use parallel lines to add a background tone as well as shown below. White on the surface in the above technique gives a bright impression and is sometimes distracting. Watch video demonstration of this technique on my YouTube Channel. In the last step, add tapered dark to edges and add small cuts along the edges and in the body to take away excess white and give impression of roughness on the surface. By drawing such cuts in different sizes and orientation, a feeling of mountain is conveyed as shown below. In this approach, surface cuts using the above technique are indicated on the body of the mountain. ![]() Most important thing to understand is that it is tapered and starts and ends in a point. Following is the shape of a surface cut in perspective. The surface of a mountain has many cuts representing imperfections and in this technique for drawing mountain focus is on drawing such cuts to convey feel of mountain. This is discussed in detail in my workbook.ĭrawing Mountain: Surface Imperfection ApproachĪnother approach to drawing mountains is to focus on its surface imperfections. Parallel lines is another way to texture mountains in this technique as shown below. Following is another useful approach where Sun/light source is assumed to be overhead resulting in vertical plains being darker than horizontally oriented plains.īy using different outlines, mountains with very different feel can be drawn using this technique. This is explained in detail in my workbook. In more involved approach, direction of light (Sun) is assumed and plains/surfaces facing the light source are shaded lightly compared to surfaces away from the light source. In addition, use different density of the stroke to highlight different plains as shown below.Ībove is a simple but very effective technique for shading where plain lines and small surrounding areas are slightly darkened to give form to the plains. Simplest stroke to use for texturing mountain is dots and ticks.
