I like to color in this tree with a lighter green than my outline so you can really see the scalloped lines. Continue moving down the tree, creating scalloped layers that get larger each time. Then, make the next layer by drawing a line with four bumps/scallops. To form this festive tree, start by drawing an upside down “v” shape with three little bumps across the bottom. Real trees are imperfect, so yours can be too!Īfter you have a set of lines that looks something like a triangle, draw a vertical brown line going through them all and extending down past the bottom for the trunk. Let some of the lines overlap and don’t worry about lining them all up perfectly.
This tree couldn’t be easier! Just take a fine tip green marker and draw a series of horizontal lines that start out short and get longer as you move down the paper. For the trunk, I drew a rectangle that’s slightly angled on top to match the shape of the lines. Next, you’ll create the same shape, just slightly larger, below the first one.Ĭontinue the same pattern until you have 4-5 rows of these curved lines, each one larger than the one above it. Starting at the top, draw a curve that resembles a rounded sideways “v.” This is similar to how we started the last tree, but we don’t want a sharp point, and we want to pick up the marker before continuing. Once again, this tree is more of a suggestion of the tree shape than a solid image. When you are happy with the size of your tree, finish it off with a brown rectangle at the bottom for the trunk. Continue creating this zig zag line, letting each row be a little longer than the one above it. To create it, start at the top, and make a small sideways “v.” Then, go back in the opposite direction and make another. Rather than being a solid, colored-in shape, the suggestion of a tree is created by a line that goes back and forth, increasing in width from top to bottom. If you want your Christmas tree to have decorations, you can add a star on top, garland, ornaments, and anything else you like. For a realistic look, each triangle should be slightly larger than the one above it.Ĭolor in your triangles and add a tiny brown rectangle for the trunk. You can change the shape and appearance of the tree by choosing to overlap the triangles a lot or not much at all, as shown in the examples below. Just stack three triangles on top of each other to form the body of the tree.
This is one of the most traditional looking ways to draw a pine tree, and if you can draw a triangle, you’ve got it made. Grab a few markers (I suggest green and brown) and join me I promise it’s easier than you think! 1. Even young kids can enjoy making these various trees and using them to decorate cards, gift tags, and more. Today, I want to look at six easy ways to draw a Christmas tree that require no real artistic skills at all. But it doesn’t have to be that way! It’s amazing what you can draw with just a few very basic shapes and lines. For whatever reason, as we grow up, we begin to doubt our talents in these areas, so we stop trying. I’ve noticed that there are two areas of life in which most people are quick to deny their abilities: drawing and dancing.
