Thank you, Jensen. These are not quite what I want. I plan to look at some actual images of mountains and try a little replication. These were drawn using no visual references. I also want several variations to place in a range and different sets for different ranges.
I've tried doing sets of mountains before, but I just can't seem to keep the basic style going between one mountain and the next. Mine are all far too... 'individual' (that would be a polite way of putting it :P )
The best solution I have come up with so far is to do everything of the same type at the same time. By that I mean if I have the pen in my hand and I draw one mountain outline I must draw all the outlines in the same half hour or so without taking any breaks. Then when I get to doing the shading I must do them all at the same time, and so on.
Even then, there's no guarantee that mum won't call right in the middle of the linework and then the second half of the set looks nothing like the first when I get back to it an hour later :P
Also - switch your iPod (or whatever you use for music) OFF random pick, or mountains drawn to heavy metal will look completely different to mountains drawn to reggae! :P

Best of luck with this

Unless you hit on the funeral march, and then everything is really massive and heavy with flat tops.
But if we get around to doing that can it be after Christmas now? I have a whole shedload of other stuff that needs to be finished first!
When you start testing them, you might find the bottom fade is a little on the sharp side there, but it really depends on the effect you want to get.
Still don't have one I truly like.

Had to redo the line work and didn't quite get it right. Original line work was too heavy.

Another one.
