Landscape Pencil Drawings
Landscapes in pencil: mountains with pine trees above a lake, a sunset over a lake with birds, a boat by the shore, a beach with a palm tree, a sunrise over the waves, a lighthouse on a rock, a road along a fence and a sunset behind a wooden fence. There are very simple ones too: mountains under the stars and a landscape inside a diamond shape.
Start with the horizon line and a light outline in an HB pencil. Keep the distant mountains light and make the nearby trees, rocks and shore darker with a soft pencil.

Questions and answers
What is the easiest landscape to draw in pencil?
The mountains under the stars and the mountain with pine trees: just a few lines and almost no shading. Then try the diamond-shaped landscape with a road and a sun, and after that the mountains above a lake.
How do you shade a landscape in pencil?
Work from light to dark. The sky and distant mountains get a few light strokes, the middle ground a little more, and the trees, rocks and shore in front get the darkest shading with a 2B or 4B pencil.
How do you draw water with a pencil?
Draw water with short horizontal strokes, closer together near the shore and farther apart in the distance. Reflections repeat the shape of the trees and mountains upside down and a little lighter. Lift highlights on the water with an eraser.
