How to Draw a Mountain Scene – Easy Kids Drawing Tutorial with Printable PDF
Jan 30, 2026
Let kids create their own mountain scene by following simple drawing steps that turn basic lines and shapes into a nature picture.
Step 1: Let's start drawing the mountain. First, draw slightly curved lines, just like the two vertical sides of a triangle.
Step 2: Again, draw a similar structure starting from the left end of the first one you have just drawn. This one is slightly shorter than the first one.
Step 3: Draw a curved line inside each of the two mountains, on the top side, just as shown in the image.
Step 4: Now draw one more mountain, in a triangle-like shape, in the space between the first two mountains. Now, draw a curved line inside the mountain you have drawn last, just as given in the image.
Step 5: Now, let's begin drawing a small Christmas tree just near the mountain, on the left side, using curved lines as shown in the image.
Step 6: Again, repeat drawing the curved lines, one below the other, as you have drawn them now. Also, draw the Christmas tree's stem.
Step 7: Draw curved lines just below the mountains. Start from the right side.
Step 8: Extend the line towards the left end of your mountains.
Step 9: Now draw one more line with slight curves, just below the one you have completed now, as shown in the image.
Step 10: Add some small lines inside the three mountains, as shown in the image.
Step 11: Draw two clouds above the mountains, one on the right side and another on the left side.
Step 12: Your beautiful mountain drawing is ready to show off. Color your drawing to make it more attractive.

Why Mountains Make Great Drawing Buddies
Mountains are always still and are the best subjects for a picture. Here are some mountain facts. The tallest mountain on Earth is called Mt Everest. Mt Everest is so tall that you would need to stack thirty Empire State buildings on top of each other to be as tall as the mountain. The best part is, your drawing can be even taller! You can be as artistic as you would like, colour it however you'd like, and even add a cave if you want maybe even pair it with learning how to draw a sun easy shining brightly above your mountain scene.
