How to draw a simple and nice landscape painting of sunset with pencil

Drawing a simple but good-looking landscape painting of a sunset, you can follow these steps:

1, prepare materials: a pencil, paper, eraser.

2, first use the pencil to gently draw the overall outline. You can start at the bottom of the canvas and draw a wavy horizon line, then draw a slightly curved shape above the horizon line to represent the lines of the mountains in the distance.

3. Next, use a pencil to draw the shape of the sunset. On one side of the canvas, draw a large circle to represent the sunset. You can draw some rays of light emanating from the sun around it.

4. Draw a slightly darker area below the sun to represent the setting mountains. You can use a light horizontal line to draw the outline of the mountains so that they gradually move away from the sun.

5. Draw some small mountain shapes between the mountains above the horizon, which can be represented by some diagonal lines and irregular curves.

6. Next, use the pencil to lightly smudge some light colors across the canvas to represent the warm glow of the setting sun on the mountains and the land. You can choose from orange, red and yellow colors for the smudge.

7. Use a pencil to outline the details of the mountains and hills, emphasizing their shapes and textures. Use short discontinuous lines and variations in thickness to add layers to the mountains.

8, finally, use the eraser to erase some places to create the effect of clouds. You can use the eraser irregularly gently wipe part of the canvas to give the shape and texture of the clouds.
