How to Draw Waterfalls

I love drawing waterfalls. There’s just something about looking at a painting or photo of a waterfall that is wonderfully relaxing. Here are some awesome resources for learning how to draw waterfalls:

STEP BY STEP

This website has two step-by-step line drawing tutorials. The first is very simple and basic, and would be great for young children. The second has a little more detail and would work well for children who want a little more of a challenge.

This is another step-by-step, but with a lot more detail. Good for older children and high schoolers who want their drawings to look more realistic.

REFERENCE PHOTOS

Need source material? Here’s a website with links to a lot of beautiful waterfall photographs. These will make great reference photos for a more advanced student who wants something to work from.

VIDEO

Finally, here’s a short (10 minute) video demo of how to draw a waterfall with oil pastels. It moves kind of quickly and doesn’t have narration, so you’ll probably need to stop the video frequently to catch up. But it’s still worth giving it a try.

    I thought you previously stated an online program/app to use for drawing on a computer or tablet. I can not find the info now. Could you please provide it. Thank you.

      There are several good ones to choose from. Each has its own unique strengths.
      Autodesk Sketchbook is free and is great for drawing – sketchbook.com
      ArtRage imitates oils and pastels really well. It’s pricey at $79 but is on sale right now for $39. Also, the iPad and/or Android versions are only $5.00 normally, but on sale for $2.99. artrage.com
      Procreate is my favorite for pastels, but it will only work on an iPad or iPhone. It’s inexpensive at $10 – procreate.art
      And I’m going to be introducing a new one, soon. Rebelle 3 is outstanding if you want a watercolor look. But it’s also the most expensive at $89. I’d recommend for serious digital artists but not beginners. You can find it at: escapemotions.com

      Hope this helps!
      Jim
