Schoolwork # ? - Mountain

Behind on a lot of posts - have got a lot planned, but havent gotten around to actually doing any.

I am working on trying to figure out how to draw a mountain, and it is proving really tricky actually.
I have done a bit for some games I have done in the past, but I was always just winging it untill I was satisfied, and that is kind of a bothersome process. I spotted some great, simple-looking ones in the new promo for Blizzards Hearthstone game, and so I wanted to try my hand at drawing them.

I tried figuring out how to do it just by hunch



but was really satisfied - going back to it, the one on the left holds a bit of promise, but I think the shape is wrong. I watched tutorials on youtube, more specifically by Alphonso Dunn (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jij8NTSJ10I), and so tried to draw the shape and shadows of the mountain before applying colour:



but I thought that almost looked worse. I gave it one last shot before moving on to other things, drawing the whole mountain from the start complete with how shadows and light would fall, and it turned out OK, but it is kind of charmless

I will keep on trying to get it right and will post results.

Happy Friday!

Edit:

I tried a quick 5 minute mountain inspired by how Bob Ross paints, and ironically, this turned out the best I thought. I did it without pen pressure because the driver went bonkers, so it would look even better normally. Perhaps there is potential here, but I think I'd prefer a less gung-ho approach.
