A Cartoon Tree That Anyone Can
Draw
Cartoon trees are one of the easiest things to learn to draw. Once you have a
basic tree, you can start varying your tree types and shapes to create whole
forests. But before you start experimenting, let's start with four basic steps to
creating trees.
Step 1:
This is actually really simple. You are going to draw two vertical arcs,
starting about the same height and about the same length. Make them curve
a little differently, though, to give your tree character. I like to curve to the
right. Connect the bottom of your two arcs with a line that is not quite
straight but doesn't curve wildly, and you have yourself the trunk of your
tree.
Step 2:
Adding branches is where a lot of people begin to sweat, thinking it's really
difficult to make the branches of your cartoon tree look real. It's actually no
harder than the trunk. To start the two main branches, turn your trunk into a
"Y", still leaning a little to the right. These two lines will connect with a
large "V" or "U" in the middle, making two skinny branches. On the right
side of your trunk toward the top, add a very thin branch that is basically just
a point, and on the left side at the angle of the "Y", draw something that
resembles the blade of a knife. Now, you have some branches that will peek
out through your leaves.
Step 3:
Okay, so this is going to be really easy. Remember when you were little and
you used to draw houses with a sun in the corner and puffy clouds in the
sky? The leaves of your tree are basically going to be a single cloud that has
