Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Geometric Landscape Art
The geometric drawing might initially appear complex. However, with a systematic approach, it becomes much simpler and an enjoyable endeavor. Follow these steps to bring your artwork to life:
Step 1: Sketching the Geometric Shapes
Start by sketching simple geometric shapes on your paper. Use circles, triangles, squares, and other forms. These will form the basis of your drawing.
Begin with some guide lines.
Then gradually add geometries.
Step 2: Sketching the Landscape
Now roughly draw the landscape as a sketch. Don’t be too detailed and don’t press too hard on the pencil so that the sketch can be easily erased later.

Now draw the shapes with the fineliner. This step is a good way to practice working with the fineliner.
Some lines can be drawn thicker.
Step 4: Drawing Mountains with Fineliner
Now draw irregular lines for the mountains. You can make the lines a little thicker in some places so that some places look like shadows.
Then draw the shadows of the mountains with simple lines.
Step 5: Drawing the River with Fineliner
Now draw the river. First draw the contours and then the water with lines starting from the contours.
Around the river you can indicate the stones with simple dots.

Step 6: Drawing Trees with Fineliner
Now you can draw in the trees. You start with the trunk and then draw curved lines away from the trunk.
For the larger trees, more strokes need to be made to create a darker area.
This can be seen quite well on the foremost tree.
Step 7: Erasing the Sketch
Now you need to erase the strokes from the sketch. But be careful not to crease or damage the paper while erasing.
With this, your geometric drawing is ready.
