It always helps to start off with some quick sketches. Try using a medium that you don't always use. I used water soluble pencils for my sketches. I started out by roughly sketching the volcano. Then I roughly shaded it.

Then I went over the sketch using water and brushes. Don't get too caught up in detail. Just look at your sketches as warm up exercises.

Start off by roughly shading in your paper with the 7B. Shade very lightly. After that blend in your shading with a blending stump. The only pencils that you should need are 7B for sketching/shading and HB for any light shading.

Step 15.
Next up shade in the volcano using a 7B pencil. Make you shading darkest towards the volcano's outline. Try to make your pencil stroke move naturally down the volcano's form. Use an eraser to make the light coming from the crack in the volcano the br
ightest part of the drawing. This will give it a glowing effect.

Step 16.
Finish up the drawing by shading and blending the smoke/clouds below the volcano and cleaning up your shading and details. I hope you find this tutorial beneficial. As always, comments and questions are welcome!
