Now I will show you how to draw a canyon. Be sure to follow this lesson to gain useful skills in drawing landscapes.

Especially for children and beginners, I have prepared a simple instruction on how to draw a canyon. This is a narrow valley, which has steep slopes on the sides and a narrow bottom.

Here you have to draw two high rocks on the sides and one rock in the background. Freehand lines are allowed in this tutorial, so the shape of the rocks in your drawing may differ from my example.

I hope that the implementation of this lesson will not cause you any difficulties, and you will easily cope with this creative task. If all the art supplies are already at the ready, then you can get to work.

How to Draw a Canyon

Draw a horizon line.
Depict a straight horizontal line using improvised tools or on your own.
Depict the outline of the side rocks.
On each side of the drawing, draw jagged lines that converge at one point.
Add the contours of the nearby rocks.
On the sides of the drawing, draw uneven lines in the same position as in my example.
Sketch out the relief surface.
With the help of thin jagged lines depict the surface of the rocks.
Detail the distant rocks.
Repeat the previous step and depict the relief. Add the bottom outline of the far side rocks.
Draw the rocks.
With the help of jagged lines depict the rock that is located in the background.
Correct inaccuracies.
Carefully remove the horizontal line without affecting the important lines.
Color the drawing.
Use gray and brown to color the rocks. Color the sky blue.
