How to Draw A Cave – Let's get Started!

Step 1

In this first part of our guide on how to draw a cave, we will be drawing some rocks and boulders that will make up a part of the side of the cave.

First, we will be drawing a base that the cave will be sitting on by creating a slightly wavy horizontal line.

Then, we shall be using some rounded lines to create the large boulder shapes piled on one another on the left-hand side of this line. Once you have it looking like our reference image then you're ready to proceed to step 2!

Step 2 – Next, draw some more of the mouth of the cave

With these boulders at the base drawn, we can now start to draw the mouth of the cave itself.

To do this, we will be drawing some more wavy and bumpy lines up from the boulder shapes that you just drew in the first step.

Then, you can add some more rounded shapes onto the side of the mouth of the cave.

We will continue drawing the mouth in the next few steps, so let's move on.

Step 3 – Now, draw the top of the cave

In this part of our guide on how to draw a cave, we will be drawing the top of the mouth of the cave.

We will do this in a similar fashion to how you started drawing the mouth of the cave in the last step, but there will be a few differences.

Mainly, while the width of the mouth on the left-hand side was quite thin, it will be quite a bit thicker on top. Otherwise, you will simply be using some more bumpy lines for the rocky mouth.

Step 4 – Next, draw the right-hand side of the cave

Your cave drawing is really taking shape now! We will continue to add on to the mouth of the cave in this fourth step.

We will continue the trend of the top of the cave in that this right-hand side will also be quite thick. You will again be using the same bumpy lines that you have been using all along for this part.

Then, once you have this side of the cave drawn, we can finish off the final details in the next part.

Step 5 – Now, you can finish off the final details of your cave drawing

In this fifth step of our guide on how to draw a cave, we will be finishing off the final details and elements.

You will also be able to add some details and additions of your own! Before we do that, however, let's first finish off the details.

First, we will continue to make the outer mouth of the cave look nice and rocky by adding some lines throughout the interior of the cave outline.

Then, we will be drawing some more curved lines into the hole of the cave to suggest that it has some depth. Then, you can draw some horizontal, jagged lines near the top of the cave to look like treetops in the background.

Finally, we will finish off by drawing some lines and rocks into the ground in front of the cave. That will finish off the details in this guide, but you don't have to stop there!

There are lots of cool things that you could add to the drawing to help personalize it. One of the fun ways you could go about this would be to show what you think could be contained within the cave.

It could be a bear or wild animal as we mentioned earlier, but you could also draw a fearsome troll or maybe some cavemen! What fun ideas can you think of to add that would really finish off this image?

Step 6 – Finish off your cave drawing with some color

Now you have reached the sixth and final step of your cave drawing, and this is the step where we finish off the drawing with some colors. This is a part where you can really get creative with it and see what you can come up with.

We showed you one way that you can go about it in our reference picture.

We used a nice wide color palette with blues for the skies, greens for the trees, browns for the cave and some dark yellows for the ground.

You can go for these shades too, but don't be shy to change it up and use your favorite colors!

You could also experiment with some cool art mediums, and you have tons of options for colors and art tools you could use.

Be sure to have fun and get creative with it, and we can't wait to see how you color in this picture!
