This master class will help you not only draw a picture, but also teach you to see the correct lines, build them, which means that it will help you further depict a real landscape.
How to draw an autumn tree
So, let's get down to our workshop. Take a sheet of paper, simple and colored pencils, an eraser and repeat step by step!
Step 1 Draw the trunk
Let's start with the trunk. Not sure how to draw a tree trunk? It is very easy! Draw two parallel lines at a fairly impressive distance (unless you are going to depict a birch). The dashes indicate the rhizome of the tree. Next, the trunk should go into wide branches. Look at the picture below, they look like snakes, draw the same on your piece of paper.
Step 2 We detail branches
Now we detail our branches. Add small, thin processes to make the tree more natural, not like a 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, turn on imagination and do not draw mirror-exact copies. In addition, in order to achieve a small 3D effect, draw some branches more clearly, and some, on the contrary, only indicate with hatching.
Step 3 Bark effect
How to draw an autumn tree natural? Add subtle lines on the trunk and branches. They should not be perfectly smooth, on the contrary, the lines should create the effect of the bark. In some places, make "islands", as shown in the figure below.
Step 4 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 Colorize
With a light brown pencil, paint over the rest of the tree. Make sure that all your lines have the same direction!
Step 6 Let's make the image voluminous
Now let's start applying the shadows. Draw a shadow along the outline of the tree with a medium-brown pencil to make the image look more voluminous. If you have never dealt with shadows in the picture, see how this is done in the picture below.
Step 7 We make a 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 story of how to draw an autumn tree. It remains to add small yellow leaves. Add tiny leaves to thin branches and paint them with yellow-orange and reddish pencils.
Now you know how to draw an autumn tree. We wish you success in your further endeavors!
