How to draw an autumn tree
So, let's get down to our master class. Take a sheet of paper, simple and colored pencils, an eraser and repeat step by step!
Step 1-st. Draw the trunk
Let's start with the trunk.Do not know how to draw a tree trunk? It's very simple! Draw two parallel lines at a rather impressive distance (unless you are going to picture the birch). Strokes indicate the root of the tree. Then the trunk must move into broad branches. Look at the picture below, they look like snakes, paint on your sheet of paper the same.
Step 2-nd. Extrude the branches
Now we detail our branches.Add small, thin shoots to make the tree more natural, not like the baby's drawing. If you do not know how to draw a tree branch correctly, look at the picture below. Remember the rule: branches should not be duplicated, include fantasy and do not draw mirror-like copies. In addition, to achieve a small 3D effect, draw some branches more clearly, and some, on the contrary, only mark with hatching.
Step 3-nd. Cortical effect
How to draw an autumn tree natural?Add the subtle lines on the trunk and on the branches. They should not be perfectly even, on the contrary, the lines should create a cortical effect. In some places, make "islands", as shown in the figure below.
Step 4-th. Add color
Now it's time to add colors to your tree. In deep brown-red color, draw the lines that you sketched in the previous step.
Step 5 We color
Light brown pencil over the rest of the tree. Make sure all your lines have the same direction!
Step 6 Make the image voluminous
Now let's start applying shadows.Draw a shadow along the contour of the tree with a medium brown pencil to make the image look more voluminous. If you have never dealt with the shadows in the image, see how it is done in the image below.
Step 7 We grow old tree
If you want, you can make your tree "older." To do this, take a dark brown pencil, paint over the red-brown areas and make the shadows deeper.
Step 8 Autumn
So we got to the last step in the storyon how to draw an autumn tree. It remains to add small yellow leaves. Draw tiny leaves on thin branches and color them with yellow-orange and reddish pencils.
