The main thing in the image of a tree on paper is not to draw clear and precise lines. Only then will it look like the present, convey its imperfect beauty and natural uniqueness.
It is necessary
- - paper;
- - pencil;
- - paints or colored pencils.
Instructions
Step 1
Draw two parallel lines on the bottom half of the paper. Spread the upper ends in different directions - these will be the bases of the branches.
Step 2
Draw parallel lines to the base of the branches so that they gradually taper, and at the end they connect. The thickness of the branches should be several times thinner than the trunk.
Step 3
Draw 2-3 more similar branches between them, but of different thickness and length. Do not be afraid to make one branch too short and the other long, because in nature there may also be not such pictures.
Step 4
Add several small ones to each large branch. The more branches there are, the more interesting the tree will be. But you shouldn't draw too much either, otherwise it will look more like an inverted Christmas tree.
Step 5
Having finished with the trunk, proceed to the crown of the tree. Draw a wavy line around the branches, which should be about 1-1.5 cm above them and end under the base of the branches. And in the upper part of the trunk, just under the branches, draw a small circle - the hollow of the tree.
Step 6
Draw the roots. To make the tree look even more beautiful and real, spread the trunk lines at the bottom in different directions and draw them according to the principle of the branches depicted. Only they should be very short and not connected at the ends.
Step 7
Color the tree. Use every shade of green, yellow, and brown you have. Paint the trunk with the last, and the crown with green ones. Overlay the base color in some places with a darker shade. The hollow, for example, can be made dark brown. Draw horizontal veins and knots on the trunk in the same color.
Step 8
When painting the crown, do not be afraid to impose green on the brown branches, overlapping them, and in some places, on the contrary, leaving them naked. Experiment with colors, mixing them and creating different natural tones. Do not try to make the outline of the crown even and clear, let some leaves protrude beyond the base - this will give the tree a more real look.
