1. Basic foundation: Use a light gray or light blue marker to gently base the entire mountainous area, creating the natural contours of the mountain and the hazy feeling of the distant mountains. This step aims to establish the overall color tone and depth hierarchy of the mountain.
2. Layered coloring: Next, use a dark green or olive green marker to color the central area of the mountain, simulating parts covered by vegetation such as forests and shrubs. Colors can be added appropriately as needed to enhance the three-dimensional effect. Then, use a beige or light brown marker to color the bottom of the mountain and exposed rock areas, expressing the color and texture of the mountain's bedrock. Pay attention to the natural transition of colors, and use the lightness of strokes to control the depth of colors. If you want to depict the light and shadow effects of the mountain, you can gently overlay a layer of light yellow or orange markers on the sunny side, and deepen the green or brown tones on the backlit side.
3. Detail embellishment and highlight: Use a white or light gray marker to gently highlight the top or specific location of the mountain, increasing its three-dimensional and glossy appearance. If necessary, you can also add some dark shadows at the foot of the mountain and gently outline them with a dark blue or purple marker to enhance the sense of boundary and depth between the mountain and the ground. Pay attention to the handling of details in moderation, avoiding excessive stacking that can cause the image to be chaotic. By using concise and powerful strokes, the colors of the mountains are made more vivid and natural.
