Hello everyone! I just want to share this landscape graphite pencil sketch of "lake and mountain" that I just finished drawing today. Making landscape scenery art like this using just graphite pencils is quite challenging. To bring life to a scenery drawings like this one most people usually put colors in it so for me it is really challenging to bring life to a landscape drawings using just graphite pencil because to pop up the image on this drawing I need to be careful on putting highlights and shadows and that takes plenty of my time so I really need to be patient to finish this kind of drawings/sketches.
Drawing Materials and Process
materials:
graphite pencil 2B, 4B and 8B
rubber eraser
sketchpad 12×18
cotton
charcoal powder
My drawing process:
On almost all of my pencil drawings I usually started on drawing the outline using light graphite pencil(2B), then after the outline I proceed on on shading the part of the image with the lightest shade using 4B graphite pencil.
Then after shading the part with lighter color, I proceed on adding some details on the image like shadows and highlights using pencil or rubber eraser for the highlights and 8B graphite pencil for darker details and shadow.
And lastly I used cotton for spreading the charcoal powder faster and easily for the lake's surface, then I add more darker shades, highlights and other main details for the final touch..
That's all, here's the final result of my "lake and mountain scenery" pencil drawing, hope you like my drawing and enjoy its drawing process. Thanks for dropping by.
