Q&A for How to Draw a Simple Tree

First, follow one of the ways above up to the coloring stage. Then, draw uneven circles in the leaves to symbolize the missing ones. Color the rest of the leaves red, orange, and yellow.

Add small pink flowers to your tree, and instead of drawing clusters of leaves, draw a few leaves separately.

You can use the light of the sun to put shadows on an already dark tree, then color the background a dark blue or gray.

First, draw the trunk going up and getting thinner at the top. Add the leaves to the top. The lines for your leaves should droop down.

Start by drawing a trunk that is thinner at the top and then drawing a bunch of different circles for leaves.

Draw a vertical trunk (as shown in this wikiHow). Then draw a line curving out and down on either side. Repeat this, sort of stacking them on top of each other about 4 times. Then on the last curves, make them connect in a point. Then add texture lines up the trunk and curving down and out however you like. If you don't like how it turns out the first time, practice a few more times.

You can draw legs hanging down from the branches or people wrapping their arms around the trunk. You could also show people hanging from the branches of the tree with their hands. If you want to know how to draw that, I would recommend looking up images of people in trees and copying those.

Follow the steps in this article but instead of making thick leaves, simply put buds and small leaves or flowers on the tree. You can also look up pictures of spring trees for reference.

Look for some tutorials and practice.

Make the trunk thinner and draw branches with no leaves. Then you can draw snow at the edge of some branches.

Perhaps only draw a few leaves on each branch, and draw a background with a big, scary black house.

Draw a skinny trunk. Add branches, then add small different colored dots for leaves and add a background. Try to make sure there are some branches branched off of others.

Try to shade the bottom the the tree, near he bottom of the trunk, to make it look like it's real. You can also add details to the leaves. You might try to shade under some of the leaves or make some of them darker to give it dimension. You could also add some bark details to the trunk.

Start with a basic tree shape. Draw 2 straight lines with a wider point at the top and bottom. Add some lines for branches connected to the wider points at the top of the tree. Make a fluffy, cloud shape at the top of the branches for the leaves. Add some swirls to the trunk to make your tree look more natural and realistic. Then, add color to finish the drawing. Use green for the leaves and brown for the branches and trunk. For the swirls and details, use black so they stand out. That's all there is to it!

Use a pencil and start by drawing two vertical lines parallel to one another, and curved at the base to form the trunk of your cartoon tree. Draw thinner branch lines growing from the sides and top of the trunk. Draw the leaves collectively like they're growing from the branches and add some details like lines for cuts and curves of the leaves. At the base of the tree trunk, add rings and curves to make the wood look more natural. Go back over your lines with a pen and erase any unnecessary details to make your tree look more cartoonish. Then, it's time to add color! Use lighter green for the tops of the leaves to make it look like they're getting more sunlight and darker green to add shading. Color the trunk and branches brown and think about coloring the ground around the base of the tree to add some dimension to the drawing.

Keep it real simple to get the ball rolling. Start with the trunk. Draw 2 parallel lines on the paper and make them flare out at the ends so the top and bottom are wider. From there, you can add some lines to make branches on top of the trunk, or keep it super simple by drawing a fluffy, cloud-like shape for the leaves. Add some small details to bring the tree to life. A few swirls and lines along the trunk can make it look more wooden. Some lines in the leaves can make them look more realistic as well. Once you have a basic shape down, try adding some color. Use green for the leaves and brown for the trunk and branches. Consider adding some darker colors to make a shading effect. The more you practice drawing trees, the more comfortable you'll feel doing it.
