‘Tis the season for some holly jolly artwork! As the snow piles up outside, stay in and practice drawing your Christmas wonderland — and no holiday scene is complete without a tree. Soon, you’ll be a pro evergreen artist so you can DIY homemade Christmas cards with ease.
Draw the body of your tree — a tall, skinny triangle.
Draw two vertical lines at the base of your tree to create the trunk. Then draw the base — we did a kind of planter-style base, but you can shape it however you like, or even draw a snowy ground below.
Add a star on top, then detail the decorations. We made some simple round ornaments and curvy lines for garland.
Once you’re done, color it in!
Draw the sides and bottom of your triangle with irregular, slightly downward-facing zigzag lines. This will offer the suggestion of the texture of an evergreen.
Instead of drawing a single triangle, draw a stack of three.
Combine the two previous methods to create a three-tiered, shaggy tree. It’s easy!
