How to Draw Landslide

To create your landslide drawing, pay attention to how the shapes relate to each other as you go along. This will help you understand the scene better and make your drawing look more balanced. Notice how the grassy slope curves and how the mountain rises beside it. Look closely at the rough edges of the scarp where the landslide has exposed the earth. As you add details like the pile of debris and jagged rocks, think about how they fit together in your picture. Each part is important, and by focusing on these relationships, you’ll see your drawing come together beautifully. Are you excited to start? Let’s get those pencils moving!

Time Needed: 45 minutes

1. Draw the Slope

   

   Start by drawing a curving grassy slope.

2. Form the Leafy Mountain

   

   Form the leafy side of the mountain. Make sure to leave an empty space near the edge where the landslide occurred.

3. Outline the Scarp

   

   Draw the rough, uneven surface of the exposed scarp created by the landslide.

4. Add the Debris

   

   Form a pile of debris at the foot of the slope.

5. Draw the Rocks

   

   Add jagged rocks of different sizes along the scarp and scattered around the debris.

6. Define the Rock Edges

   

   Draw short, uneven lines to define the rough surfaces of the rocks.

7. Outline the Road

   

   Draw curving lines to outline the road that is blocked by the landslide debris.

8. Add Grass

   

   Add patches of grass on the opposite side of the road.

9. Color the Landslide Drawing

   

   First, color the sky light blue. Next, use green for the grass and the leafy mountain. Now, use shades of brown to the scarp and debris. Then, use lighter shades of brown for the rocks. Finally, color the road with shades of gray.
