How to Draw a Hill
Draw a hill in 12 easy steps, about 9 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the big hill.
Step 1: The big hill
Start low on the left. Draw a long soft bump up and down. Stop level with the start.
Tip A hill has a soft round top, not a point.
Step 2: A hill behind
Start on the big hill's right slope. Draw a lower round hill behind it, sloping down to the ground.
Step 3: The ground
Start left of the big hill. Draw a straight ground line under both hills, stopping past the hill behind.
Step 4: A winding path
From the ground, draw 2 winding lines up to the hilltop, wide apart at the bottom, close at the top.
Step 5: Leafy tree top
Up on the left above the hill, draw a round cloud of 6 soft bumps for the leaves.
Tip Keep the bottom bumpy too, or your tree looks like a mushroom.
Step 6: The trunk
From under the leaves, draw 2 lines down to the hill, getting wider apart at the bottom.
Step 7: The sun
In the top right corner draw a round sun with 8 short rays round it, like wheel spokes.
Step 8: A cloud
In the top left draw a small puffy cloud: 4 bumps over the top and 2 shallow bumps underneath.
Step 9: Yellow sun, tan path
Go over your lines. Colour the sun yellow and the winding path tan.
Step 10: Leaf green hill
Colour the big hill leaf green, around the path.
Step 11: Brown trunk
Colour the tree trunk wood brown.
Step 12: Green hill and leaves
Colour the hill behind and the leaves dark green, and your hill is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a hill, drawn by you.
