Draw a volcano and finish it in your browser

Describe the volcano you want in Morphic's Image tool, from a sleeping cone above a treeline to a night eruption throwing ash across the sky. Set the volcano type, the slope, the plume, the lava and the drawing medium, adjust the crater and the sky on the Canvas, then download it in HD.

Eruption over a dark bay

A night eruption seen across water in charcoal, the ash cloud smudged heavy above and the glow lifted in broken streaks along the swell.

FAQs

How do I draw a volcano that looks like a real one?
Break the symmetry. Real cones have one flank steeper than the other, a crater that sits off centre, and a rim that dips where past eruptions blew it out. Asking for an uneven silhouette and an off-centre crater fixes most of the toy-mountain look on its own.
How do I draw the ash plume?
Treat it as a stack of rounded masses rather than a cloud outline. The column is narrow and hard edged near the vent, then it widens and softens as it rises until the top spreads sideways. Keeping the edges softer the higher you go is what makes it read as moving.
How do I draw lava so it looks hot?
Work from the inside out. The flowing core is the lightest value in the drawing, almost white at the centre, then it steps through orange and red to a dull crust at the edge. Put the darkest rock right beside the brightest lava, because the contrast does the work, not the colour.
What is the difference between a cone volcano and a shield volcano when drawing?
A stratovolcano is tall and steep with concave slopes that curve up to a narrow summit. A shield volcano is broad and low, with slopes so gentle the whole form can be wider than the frame. Naming which one you want changes the silhouette completely.
How do I get a clean background for a volcano drawing?
Ask for a flat white background with no sky, no landscape and no foreground, then trim the frame on the Canvas. That gives you the silhouette on its own for a worksheet, a poster layout or a set of matching diagrams.
Can I keep a set of volcano drawings in one style?
Use Style Transfer. Lock the look of the first drawing, then apply it as you generate each volcano type so the line weight, the hatching and the palette stay the same across the set. That matters if the drawings are going on one project board or into one print run.
