You should only carefully follow our recommendations in this manual and have a good mood. On a tree, you can see its three main parts: the root, the trunk, and the crown. The root is the underground part of the tree, so usually we can only see a small part of it.
With this lesson, you will learn another way to draw a tree step by step, and then you can apply these skills if you want to draw a natural landscape, a forest, depict a tree near a house, or use it as the main subject of your drawing.

How to Draw a Tree Step by Step
- Draw the tree trunk.
To complete this step, you need to draw two slightly curved lines, as shown in the picture.
- Depict the bottom of the tree.
Connect the lower ends of the previously drawn lines to depict part of the tree’s root.
- Start drawing the branches of the tree.
Extend the top ends of the lines drawn in the first step using curved lines of varying lengths.
- Add some more branches.
Between the previously drawn branches, draw a few more branches using curved lines.
- Begin to draw the outlines of the foliage of the tree.
Near the upper ends of the previously drawn lines, draw a lot of rounded lines.
- Add the outlines of the tree crown.
Use rounded lines and arcs of various sizes to depict the crown of the tree.
- Continue drawing the foliage of the tree.
Between the previously drawn tree branches, draw rounded lines, as shown in the figure.
- Finish drawing the foliage of the tree.
To make the drawing look more voluminous and realistic, draw a few more rounded lines.

To color this tree, use green and brown.
