Family drawing sketch12/4/2023 ![]() ![]() Keep adding the branches with needles to about half way, and then sketch a few empty branches. I add a small triangular shape on top with straight lines all moving to the top.Īdd more triangular lines on top of one another. I also darkened some of the leaves a bit. The tall grass is also leaning in the winds direction. I added some clouds, shaded the water, drew a sand line, and some tall grass on the hill. I also add a horizon line: where the water meets the sky and some grass on the hill. Some of them are flying off, so more small squiggles. I shade the trunk a bit and added some roots to the hill.Īlright, now leaves are squiggly lines drawn with the side of my pencil. The thick, main branches are stronger, so they will not be as affected by the wind, but the smaller branches will all point in the direction of the wind. Keep adding branches, so far all leaning to the right. Because the wind is blowing, many of the branches are leaning to the right. As before, it’s thicker towards the bottom, and comes to a point on top.Īdd some main branches. I add the hill, and make the trunk thicker. Tree # 1 is all done!!!

I am going in a sort of irregular pattern of peaks and troughs. Putting my pencil sideways, I shade in the area in the crown where the leaves are. I also shade the trunk a bit, using long straight lines. I also pick an spot where the sunshine is coming from. Now each one of the main branches gets a few branches of their own, but smaller and added a squiggle on the bottom to indicate a bit of grass.Įven more smaller branches splitting off from the bigger ones. They are thicker toward the base and narrower towards the tip. It is thick towards the bottom and the roots, and narrows closer to a point toward the top.
