Drawing Different Trees
Trees are the most popular thing to add to a landscape! And there are many different ways to draw trees because there are so many kinds.
Round tree (deciduous): draw a brown rectangle for the trunk, then a big green circle or oval on top for the leafy crown. This is the classic lollipop tree shape.
Triangle tree (evergreen/pine): draw a brown rectangle for the trunk, then a green triangle on top. Stack two or three triangles, getting smaller as they go up, for a realistic pine tree.
Oak tree: draw a thick trunk with branches splitting off in different directions. Add puffy cloud-like blobs of green leaves on each branch.
Palm tree: draw a tall, slightly curved brown trunk. At the top, add long green leaf shapes drooping down in all directions like a fountain.
Bare winter tree: draw a trunk with lots of branches splitting off. No leaves! Just bare branches reaching into the sky like fingers.
Orchard row: draw several round trees in a line, getting smaller as they go toward the horizon. This shows depth!
Tip: trees closer to you (near the bottom of the paper) should be BIGGER. Trees far away (near the horizon) should be SMALLER.
