STEP 1 Sketch the Basic Shape
Start with the basic overall shape and trunk.
Use the same basic steps to draw evergreens as you would use to draw leafy trees. When drawing a tree, examine the subject closely to capture its uniqueness.
STEP 1 Sketch the Basic Shape
Start with the basic overall shape and trunk.
STEP 2 Sketch the Branches
Sketch in the branches, noticing their direction. The branches angle downward the farther down you place them on the tree. Many trees are structured like this, not only evergreens.
STEP 3 Add the Needles and Shading
Erase any unnecessary lines. Use a variety of staggered back-and-forth lines to suggest the needles of the tree. Apply some lines more heavily than others to create shading and depth.
