How to Draw a Tree

Looking for an instruction on how to draw a tree? The eight stages below will help even a novice artist learn how to draw a tree. The ability to paint nature is literally necessary for any artist. This is a useful skill if you want to paint landscapes. So, prepare your favorite pencils, paper or graphics tablet and let’s dive into a learning process.

Step 1

So, let’s start depicting a tree by creating the crown of the tree. Use a curly and winding line as the artists of Easydrawingart.com did in the example below.

Step 2

Now use two lines to depict a trunk. Do not try to exactly repeat the crown and trunk as in our example, because in the world you will not find two absolutely identical trees.

Step 3

With the help of another winding line, we finish depicting the crown. This outline should cover the top of the trunk as in the example of Easydrawingart.com.

Step 4

Using three curved lines, we finish depicting the top of the trunk. This part also should not be exactly repeated as in our example. Do not be afraid to show your imagination.

Step 5

Let’s give the tree picture a more voluminous and beautiful look. To do this, depict the leaves as the artists of Easydrawingart.com did in the example below.

Step 6

Now pass to the bottom of the trunk and depict the roots, which are somewhat reminiscent of the branches that we sketched earlier.

Step 7

Now arm yourself with an eraser and wipe off all unnecessary guidelines from your artwork, making it beautiful, clean and aesthetic. You can darken the lines of your artwork to make it sharper.

Step 8

Now armed with green and brown colors paint the tree with the help of colored pencils, paints or felt-tip pens. You can also depict shadows to make your artwork look more realistic.

So, dear artists and readers of Easydrawingart.com, was our instruction on how to draw a tree useful for you? Try now to repeat all the stages from memory or depict oak or maple, using the knowledge that you could see above.

Also, try creating a beautiful landscape by placing a tree next to a waterfall and depicting a rabbit or other animal.
