Then, along the drawn contours, you must once again draw a line with a pencil, but not absolutely even, since the drawn trees should look like real ones. In the middle of the trunk there are beams directed towards the artist, this will add volume. Then, the approximate amount of foliage is determined and the outline for the crown is drawn. On the branches they draw small ovals, these will be leaves. There should not be voids between them. Leaflets are drawn by the location of the branches. Next, with small strokes, mark the bark of the trunk and tree branches. Added grass next to them, at the request of the sun, clouds and more.
