Learn how to draw a tree with this easy step by step tutorial. If you make branches that split off in many directions and gradually thin out, your tree is bound to look pretty life like.

How to draw a Tree

Sketching trees in real life is great, but not always practical for a multitude of reasons. Why not teach students how to recognize some of the patterns that trees follow instead, so they can draw a one that looks realistic, no matter where they happen to be, indoors or out.

This tutorial focuses on drawing a balanced set of branches, and then adds leaves behind. It’s a bit more work, but teaches so much more than just a bunch of leaves on top of a trunk.

How to Draw a “Y” Tree

MATERIALS
• Multimedia paper
• Oil Pastels

DIRECTIONS1. Students draw a large “Y” on their paper.
2. They add smaller “Y”  on each side, alternating as they go up each branch. To make the “Y”  the most realistic, they should be directed upward towards the sky.
3. When the lines are complete, they need to be thickened. The fattest part of the tree should be at the bottom trunk, and all the lines should gradually get thinner until they end in points at the top.
4. Lots of fall colors may be colored around the branches.
5. The background may be added, with grass and shadow and sun and clouds.
