Draw it step by step

Six steps to a mountain

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with the big peak

Draw a tall pointy hill with a round tip. Let the sides curve out at the bottom.

2

Add two small peaks

Draw a smaller peak on each side, tucked behind the big one. Then a ground line under them all.

3

Put snow on top

Draw a wavy line across each peak near the top. Wobbly waves look like melting snow.

4

Give it a happy face

Two dot eyes and a big smile in the middle of the big peak.

5

A sunrise and some trees

Draw half a sun peeking over the small peak, with a few rays. Then add pointy pine trees at the bottom.

6

Plant a flag

Draw a pole straight up from the tip, then a wavy flag. Now this mountain is yours.

Go further

Now draw a mountain with a secret cave inside.
