Then additional branches go from them, too many do not need to be done, they also do not have to be symmetrical. On them will be leaves or needles. 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, beams are 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, indicate the bark of the trunk and tree branches. Grass is added next to them, at the request of the sun, clouds and more.
