Simple Scenery Drawing Tutorial for Kids and Beginners

Before adding details, it's essential to start with the basic framework of the drawing. 

Here are some simple steps to get your kid started with drawing simple scenery:

• Outline the basic shapes: Start sketching simple shapes to represent the landscape elements. Circles for the sun, triangles for mountains, and rectangles for houses are great starting points.

• Segment the drawing area: Divide the space into foreground, middle ground, and background to incorporate different elements proportionally.

• Connect the elements: Use curved lines for rivers, wavy lines for clouds, and overlapping shapes to create a balanced composition.

Mastering these steps helps children structure their drawings effectively, making it easier to add details later.

Digital drawing is just as fun as paper sketching! Explore using the Paint Brush tool in MS Paint and let your child create colorful artwork on a computer.

Next, let's explore how adding details can enhance the drawing.

Detailing Techniques

Once the basic shapes are in place, adding details can bring the drawing to life.

Consider the following techniques to enhance your child's drawing:

• Textures: Use small curved lines to create a fluffy effect on trees or ripples in water.

• Shadows and highlights: Darken one side of mountains and trees to create depth and make the drawing more realistic.

• Patterns: Adding brick textures to houses or tiny leaves on trees makes the artwork more engaging.

These techniques allow young artists to refine their drawings, making them more dynamic and visually appealing.

Let's see how colors and shading can bring their artwork to life.

Coloring and Shading

Coloring enhances the drawing and gives it vibrancy. 

Here are some easy coloring tips:

• Choose basic colors: Use blue for the sky, green for trees, and brown for mountains.

• Blend colors gently: Encourage kids to experiment with shading techniques like light strokes for a soft blend.

• Layering colors: Adding darker shades around the edges of trees and mountains creates a sense of depth.

By exploring different coloring techniques, children can make their scenery drawings more realistic and engaging.
