Step 1: Gather Your Materials

You don’t need much to get started. Grab a pencil, some paper, an eraser (kneaded works best), a piece of paper.

Step 2: Begin With a Few Dots

Next, consider the shape or profile of the mountains. Create a blueprint by using the simplest form of mark-making: dots. This is the foundation of your doodle.

Step 3: Build on top of your foundation

Begin to add some solid lines on top of your dots. From there, think about the elements you’d like to see in your doodle, for example, snow at the summit of a mountain or a reflective lake.

Step 4: Add Your Finishing Touches

Once you’re happy with the way your line drawing came out, begin adding texture by using smaller marks in a consistent pattern. This is very free-form, so just have fun with it!
