The valley Of the river Slavyanka

Lightly sketch the basic shapes of the landscape: horizon line, riverbanks, and tree masses.

Define the main areas of dark and light, blocking in the large areas of black.

Begin adding details to the trees, using varying line weights to suggest depth and texture.

Create the sky with horizontal lines, varying the spacing to suggest clouds and light.

Add vertical lines to represent the water's reflection.

Define the foreground elements, such as rocks and figures, with careful attention to detail.

Refine the linework, adding more detail and adjusting line weights as needed.

Add a border around the image.
