Draw a Waterfall
A waterfall can add a paradisaical feel to your illustration, using some simple shapes you'll learn how to make one following these steps.
Steps
- Draw a curved line on the bottom of the scene, this will be the outline of the pond.
- Draw rounded cornered rectangles for the first tier.
- Draw another couple of rectangles. Make them smaller this time.
- Add a third tier. Remember that smaller they look, the farther they are, depth-wise.
- Draw some bushes sticking to one side.
- Complete the scene by drawing some more trees or bushes to the other side.
- Use teal, sky blue and white to color the water, and green for the plants.
- Remember that foam forms on the base of the waterfall. Sketch this in like clouds.
Alternate Method
- Draw two vertical lines.
- To the left of these two lines, add two smaller parallel lines. On top of each line, draw a triangle. Draw a trapezoid on the bottom left of the image.
- Add four groups of parallel lines and one single line on the left side of the image.
- Draw close-together vertical lines in the center of the image. Begin adding foliage to your drawing.
- Repeat the vertical lines on the right side of the image. Also add some smaller vertical lines to the groups of parallel lines. Continue adding foliage.
- Continue adding detail.
- Erase unnecessary guidelines.
- Color the waterfall.
- Finish coloring the drawing.
