The picture above shows only a simple form of perspective drawing.
In the picture below you can see an illustration which show a landscape drawn with the help of a simple one-point perspective. Only the vanishing lines run (at least mentally) in the other direction. It can be compared with the rays of the sun, which radiate from the sun into all corners and angles of the image. These lines all converge at a point that lies on the horizon.
The principle means that all objects become smaller along vanishing lines. Perhaps you may have already heard of perspective drawing with the help of vanishing points. The decrease in size of the objects can be illustrated relatively easily with a drawing aid: The perspective with vanishing points. This effect of the distance is of course very strong in the landscape, as we look far into the distance. An important aspect of a landscape is the perspective.Īll objects are smaller the further they are away from us.

Perspective methods in landscape drawingsĪnd there are still more tricks how to draw landscapes better (now, however, it will be somewhat technical). Experiment a bit around, make a few sketches and designs to find the best placement of the horizon for your landscape picture.ĭrawing landscapes: Different positioning of the horizon in a landscape drawing Depending on where you lay the horizon, you can either see more from the sky or more from the ground on the drawing. The horizon is the limit at which the sky and earth meet. One should consider exactly where the horizon should be positioned in the drawing. A landscape drawing with flowering meadows and trees with leaves usually looks friendly and amusing.īut there is more to consider when drawing a landscape. When everything is covered by snow, everything seems more peaceful. A landscape in the rainy weather can, for example, create rather melancholic feelings. You can draw a scene at night, by day or during sunrise, for example.ĭraw landscapes: create moods through times, seasons and weatherĭepending on the time of the day, the weather and the time of the year you decide, the landscape drawing can create a completely different feeling for the viewer. In the winter everything could be covered by a snow, while in summer everything is green and blooming. The same landscape can finally look completely different under different weather conditions. If you have chosen a landscape, another important consideration is the time of the day, the time of the year, and the weather. Do you want to draw a beach picture, a mountain landscape or a city? There are infinitely many possibilities open.ĭrawing landscapes: examples of different landscapes (beach, city and field) First you have to decide which landscape you want to draw and which area you want to show in your picture. If you want to draw landscapes, you have a variety of possibilities to realise the picture. All these things change the landscape you draw and your drawing no longer matches reality. Or the sun is in a different place after some time and lets the shadows fall in another direction. For example, while you are drawing, the wind could blow the leaves and branches of trees in a different direction. The second difficulty you have to master when drawing a landscape is the "natural forces". In the pictures below you can see how a forest, a tree, high-rise buildings and meadows can easily be illustrated.

Thus, for example, the leaves of trees are only intuitively drawn, just as the grass of the meadows, the trees of the woods, the windows of skyscrapers, and so on. How to draw landscapes Drawing landscapesĪ challenge when drawing a landscape is, on the one hand, that the objects (trees, meadows, buildings, mountains) can not be drawn with every detail. In contrast to a still life - to name just one example - a landscape drawing shows a much larger section of the environment. Typical landscape drawings depict natural landscapes, mountains, cities, factory landscapes, seascape, park landscapes et cetera. As a landscape in the sense of a landscape drawing we understand representations of the environment created by nature or man.
