Draw a linden tree with a pencil step by step. How to draw different types of trees? How to draw a fairy tale tree step by step

It is important to know that every tree, like a person, is special in its own way. All of them differ in structure, trunk, leaves, and sometimes it seems that their mood is different. The mood of the whole picture can depend on the mood and nature of the tree!

Would you like to draw an autumn tree? Then watch this video.

Further in this lesson we will consider oak and birch, their character, mood, external differences. Subsequently, you will be able to explore other trees yourself. Go outside with a pencil and paper and boldly draw the trees that you see in front of you - so you will become a real master! We will also try to come up with and draw a fabulous tree that you will not find in any ordinary forest.

How to draw an oak tree step by step

Oak is associated with a powerful, old and wise tree. As the lion is the lord of the jungle, so the oak is the king of the forest. Oak is often mentioned in songs, fairy tales and poems. We cannot but mention, let's try to draw this tree.

Oak is special in that it has a not high, but wide, powerful trunk and a lush crown. This distinguishes it from other trees.

1. First of all, let's think about placing the tree on the paper. Let's denote the extreme upper and lower points of the figure and combine them with the central line of the tree. It will help us keep the symmetry.

2. Now we take up drawing the trunk. Remember that the oak trunk is wide and powerful. Also powerful are its roots. At this stage, draw the branches of the oak, but not completely, because the branches are almost invisible through the lush crown of the tree. To better understand where the branches will end, conditionally mark the crown of the tree with light pencil movements.

3. When the trunk is ready, draw the crown. To make it look realistic, draw it in the form of planes that look like clouds. They will mean heterogeneous clusters of leaves. In some places between these flats, several small branches can be identified that are visible through the leaves.

4. Done! It remains only to add bright colors to the picture with the help of paints or pencils.

How to draw a birch step by step

If the oak is associated with a strong, wise, gray-haired gentleman, then the birch invariably evokes associations of a fragile girl. Its trunk is thin, like a girl's figure, and the branches fall down like girl's braids. Let's try to draw a birch?

1. First of all, let's think about placing the tree on the paper. Let's denote the extreme upper and lower points of the figure and combine them with the central line of the tree. Let's make it a little curved so that the trunk is a little tilted.

2.Now you can draw the trunk. From below it is wide, and the farther up, the narrower. Starting from about the middle, lowered branches depart from the sides of the trunk. At the beginning they are thicker, and at the ends they narrow to thin lines. It is also worth noting that the lower branches are longer than the upper ones.

3. Let's move on to drawing the leaves. Each branch of birch is covered with them. And also denote the characteristic dark spots on the trunk.

4. Everything is ready! It remains only to add color to the picture with paints or pencils.

How to draw a fairy tale tree step by step

Fairy tree is a flight for fantasy. It can be crooked, curly, thin, thick, with fantastic branches, leaves, flowers and even fruits. Let's try to imagine?

1. First of all, let's think about placing the tree on the paper. Let's denote the extreme upper and lower points of the figure and combine them with the central line of the tree.

2. We draw a trunk of a chaotic shape and branches twisted into spirals. You can draw a tree of a completely different shape, the main thing is that it be unusual, as if from a magical land. And you can repeat after me for now, and only then try to come up with your own fairy-tale tree.

3. We add no less fabulous leaves and flowers of various shapes and sizes to the fabulous twigs. You can add more fabulous birds or butterflies, etc. Fantasize!

4. Hooray! Our tree is ready! It remains only to make it colored with pencils or paints, or draw it with a black pen using interesting lines and shadings, like me.

Success in creative work!

We present you another interesting step-by-step lesson on drawing with pencils. Today we will show you how to draw a tree with pencils. Prepare all the materials necessary for drawing:

  • sheet of white paper A5 or A4;
  • colour pencils;
  • simple HB pencil;
  • eraser.

We start by sketching the tree trunk.

Then we move on to drawing the crown. We apply the sketch easily, without pressing too hard on the pencil and without drawing any details.

Now back to creating the trunk. Outline it with a brown pencil.

Gradually giving it contrast and brightness.

The crown of the tree should be green. To do this, take a pencil of any green tone and begin to draw each piece of the crown.

We do not press hard on the pencil, so that in the end we get such a translucent shade.

Now we begin to draw in small strokes the unpainted sections of the crown.

To do this, you can use a different shade of green pencil, darker or more saturated. You can also draw with one green pencil, just change the pressure on it.

With a burgundy pencil, we create bright accents on the trunk of our tree.

We outline the contour of the trunk, easily draw the middle and side parts of the branches.

To create contrast and draw the shadows of the trunk, use a black pencil.

Now, along the contour of the crown, we create such small leaves.

The petals should be more saturated in tone and stand out a little against the background of the main part of the crown.

And then we circle the outline of miniature leaves with a yellow pencil.

We create a crown contrast with a burgundy or brown tone. We fill in any of these two shades of dark areas of foliage.

On the background of the picture we will create a wooden fence of a translucent color. Also, draw a small patch of green grass under the tree.

Everything, the work is ready!

Hey! Today I will show. This lesson is intended more for beginners and can be useful for creating sketches and sketches of various trees. For example, I took different types of trees - birch, oak and spruce. Before you start drawing, it is advisable to look at real trees, or at least at their photographs, and note for yourself the features of their structure. All trees have their own different structural features, but drawing principle will be the same for them:

  1. First, with a slight pressure of the pencil, the contours of the tree and its branches are determined.
  2. Then the details are drawn, slightly increasing the pressure.
  3. Foliage is added and final details are added as needed.
I'm sure everyone can do this lesson. Below you can watch the video how to draw trees with a simple pencil, but for now I will briefly describe the stages for each tree. So, how to draw a birch. Following the plan described above, with a light pressure of the pencil, we outline the contours of the birch. The trunk of a birch is usually slender, with black markings on a white trunk. Branches hang in a semicircle from top to bottom. One of the species is named so - drooping birch. With a few easy movements, we determine the main branches. After we have outlined the shape, we increase the pressure and go over the trunk and branches with a pencil, detailing them. Here you need to remember that the branches are not perfectly smooth, but have a variety of shapes. Here is our birch and ready. It remains to add only foliage. Drawing oak and spruce will follow the same pattern. First, we outline the form: Next, we draw the bark of the oak and the branches sticking out to the side, and the needles of the spruce, respectively: Details in the video how to draw trees: Now you know, how to draw trees easily with a simple pencil. True, they still lack foliage and they look more like trees in winter (except for spruce). But we will fix this in the next release. Follow the information on the site. TO BE CONTINUED...

There are more than 100,000 species of trees in the world, which means that one tree can be completely different from another. However, even trees of the same species can differ significantly. In this lesson, we will consider the most common, "averaged" tree. However, the steps shown below are quite universal, so our lesson will be useful whether you are drawing an ash, maple, pine or other tree.

Preparation: looking for reference

Whatever you draw, it's always best to have an object to check. If you want - look for photos on the Internet, if you want - take your own pictures or just look at the trees on the street. Studying the object will help you quickly decide on the idea, as well as more accurately convey the details.

And now let's proceed directly to the drawing with a pencil.

Step 1.

Start by sketching the trunk and lightly outline the branches growing from it. Note that the branches grow sideways and slightly up. Imagine that they are reaching for the sun with all their might. In no case do not use a ruler: a living tree is knobby, uneven, curved, so perfectly straight lines will only hurt you.


Step 2

Now lightly outline the contours of the foliage. It is likely that this shape will change as you draw, but still this sketch will help you always remember what exactly you want to draw. Just as the branches should not be straight, so the crown of the tree should not be symmetrical!

Step 3

Shadows and highlights are what will give your work depth and dimension, but before you start breaking up your drawing into light and shadow, determine the light source for your tree.


Step 4

Having decided on the light, shade the main dark areas on your tree. It is convenient to do this with a soft pencil (for example, 6B) - this will create the illusion of more realistic foliage than when hatching with a hard lead. The bottom of each "block" of leaves should be darker than the top.


Step 5

Now let's fill the entire crown with tone, not forgetting to leave the illuminated areas lighter than those in the shade. However, even if you forgot and darkened some areas too much, you can always lightly go over them with an elastic band (it is better to do this with tapping movements so that the eraser picks up the pigment, but does not smear the drawing).


Step 6

Let's not forget about the trunk. If the light source is on the right, as in our example - of course, the left side of the trunk and the branches on it will be darker. Nevertheless, at the very left border of the trunk, you need to make a thin light strip - a reflex formed due to the "girdling" of the trunk by the rays of the sun.


Step 7

During the hatching process, your original outlines should merge with the hatched shapes - in real life, objects have no outlines, which means they should not be in a realistic drawing either (of course, if you draw comics, this rule does not work).


Step 8

Finally, draw the drop shadow. Of course, in the figure, it should approximately repeat the shape of the tree and fall in the opposite direction from the light source. The length of the shadow depends on the height of this source: the higher it is, the shorter the shadow. As you know, shadows disappear at noon :)

We draw a deciduous tree in stages

  • Step 1

    On a sheet of paper, you need to designate the general contour of a deciduous tree, symbolically designate the crown and trunk.


  • Step 2

    The next step is to draw a "skeleton": outline the contours of the branches.


  • Step 3

    Each has a crown, so you should designate it in full.


  • Step 4

    The lower branches of large trees are always thick and powerful, and this is how they should be shown in the figure.


  • Step 5

    How to draw a tree without a lot of branches, which become thinner and shorter as they grow to the top? This is what should be done in the next step.


  • Step 6

    The tree trunk along its entire length must be covered with “clothes” - bark.


  • Step 7

    Branches without leaves occur only in autumn, so if you draw a tree in summer, then we frame each branch in foliage.


  • Step 8

    So that the tree does not hang in the air, we will attach it to the ground with a powerful rhizome, and around we will draw grass and flowers.


  • Step 9

    The bark of the tree has a rough texture, which can be shown using curved lines and dark shading.


  • Step 10

    With lighter shading, we begin to gradually cover the left side of the crown.


  • Step 11

    Then we proceed to the right side and similarly draw leaves on it.


  • Step 12

    With the help of color, dark and light transitions, you need to show that the tree has volume and shape.


  • Step 13

    You should not fanatically write out each sheet separately, it is enough to designate them symbolically. This will be enough for credibility.


  • Step 14
  • Step 15

    The final touch will be the image of highlights. They are marked with a rubber band. That's all, now you know how to draw a deciduous tree with your own hands.
