If you love marine life, you’ll love this landscape. Learn to draw this landscape scene and you’ll also learn how to draw three very different looking boats. Try to have some fun with the many textures in a landscape view and see if you can find different ways to represent them in a simple way, rather than copying what you see, leaf by leaf. You’ll see how Brommer manipulates scale to emphasize architectural feature or crows of people, how he combines natural elements like flowers and trees in a garden with manmade structures to capture the complexity of the cities he visits. Brommer also explains his unique ways of working when deciding how to sketch a city, including finding vantage points that can be difficult but rewarding—like the curb of a busy street. Points of interests take up the supporting roles but are still quite prominent. There can be several points of interest in a drawing, but usually only one focal point.

Use a slanted rectangle for the visible side of the roof. Connect the top of the roof to the top of the slanted line on the left to complete the outline. Indicate the beginning of a road with two curving lines that come together near the side of the church building. Step 2: Add a few gentle curves to the horizon line. Begin the windows, the door, and the steeple on the church with rectangles. Use rectangles with half-circles at the top for the front windows. Add a second set of lines along the roadway as the beginning of a stone wall.Rather than the usual ‘eye-level’, an interesting angle could be from relatively low down, perhaps lying on a blanket, or from high above, such as sitting on a hill or in a ranger's raised hide. You could try a vertical view to show only a small part of the scene, or go for square or even super long to spice things up.

Here, we'll show you an illustration of each step and then give you a description of how to draw it. Follow the red lines in each illustration to learn exactly what to draw in that step. The lines drawn in previous steps are shown in gray. Step 1: Sketch a straight line to represent the horizon. Use your ruler to outline a long rectangle that widens and is open at the right end. To show the position of the rowboat, make a second, closed rectangle that overlaps the first. Draw a line through its center.In fact, often it makes a sketch a lot more interesting if you're a bit selective and leave some things to the imagination. A river that disappears between a far mountain range can draw the viewer's gaze into the distance, emphasising the depth of the view. Scatter spiked, jagged shapes as tufts of grass on the sides of the road and in random spots in the surrounding fields. Form sills beneath each window by adding short vertical lines to finish the long rectangles which are slightly wider than the windows themselves. With diagonal lines, lightly shade part of the surface of the stones in the wall. Step 4: Attach four heavy ropes to the bows of the boats with pairs of curved lines. Draw one or two tall poles or radio antennas on each boat. Use thin lines made with a ruler. Add detail to three antennas with short horizontal lines. Make windows and portholes on the cabins with slanted rectangles. Draw a round life preserver on the side of one of the boat cabins using a circle within a circle.

A paved road leads to a range of snow-capped mountains, gleaming in the sun, in this landscape. You can almost smell the crisp winter air when gazing at this scene.Next time you're out and about switch up your usual style and try drawing the view as abstract as you can with it still being recognisable as a nature scene.
