We need to sketch a mountain first. Canvas size 400x400, foreground color #2e3034. Grab the paint
brush size 2, hardness 10, step 1 density 100, thickness 100 rotation 0, opacity 100. Sketch a
mountain on the canvas.

 

 

 

 

 
       

 

Magic Wand to select anywhere inside the image. Selections, Modify, expand by 1. Paint Brush,
size 20. Paint brush the top edge of the image.

Push brush size 36, hardness 10, step 51density 64, thickness 26, rotation 89 opacity 100. Push the
paint downward covering the whole mountain. Keep it selected.

 

 

Notice some light specks on the mountain above? We will push those white specks to make ridges.  Like the ones on the left.  Change the push brush size to 12, hardness 10, step 1 density 64 thickness 26, rotation 89, opacity 100. Carefully push the specks upward or downward depending on how you want to look the mountain. Leave some dark spots for the shadow sides of the ridges
Reduce the push brush size to 6. Slightly push the light color from the ridges down.

And that's all. You have a mountain!

 

You can add trees, grasses or snow on the mountain or leave it bald. See the mountain with grasses
and with snow below.
