How to Draw a Winter Landscape With Frozen Lake and Trees Step 1 You can also add some details (loose rocks) with it.ģ. Take the HB pencil, make sure it's sharp, and use it to create a border between the 'naked' rock and the snow layer. Take the eraser, clean it, and use it to carefully brighten the snow between the ridges. Take the 5B pencil, make sure it's sharp, and use it to add details/detailed shading on the shadowed side. Don't press as hard so that you keep the contrast between both sides. Tilt the pencil and draw the area uncovered with snow on the other side. Shade the same side of the ridges some more to create a contrast between the shadowed and the illuminated side. To create a proper pattern, imagine that the snow is sliding over the ridges. Feel free to press hard to achieve a deep, dark shade.Ĭontinue the process by going lower and lower, leaving some space for the snow. This is supposed to be the area uncovered by the snow. Take the 2B pencil now, tilt it (change the grip) and darken the shadowed side of each ridge. This should create a 3D effect.Ĭhange your grip back to the precise one (the one you use for writing), and make the edges of the ridges more detailed.Ģ.

Use this grip to shade one side of each branch. Nature doesn't like perfection!Ĭhange your grip to a looser one, to draw with a side of the lead. You don't need to be very careful-draw these lines sharply, chaotically. You can use a reference for this step-for example, one of the mountain photos on PhotoDune.ĭraw some 'branching' all over the mountains. Press as lightly as possible-the lines should be barely visible. Take the HB pencil and sketch the general outline of the mountains with sharp, ragged lines. Even if there's no winter where you live, you can create some winter magic by drawing a snowy scene. Mountains and tree branches covered with snow, lakes turned into ice. Winter is cold and unpleasant, but it definitely creates beautiful landscapes.
