Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
To start drawing your Christmas Tree, we’ll start with the top of the tree. We will not be adding any decorations or details at this time.
To start, you can draw what looks a bit like a curved triangle with the bottom curved inward.
The reference image is there to guide you, so if you follow the image your treetop will be complete in no time!
Step 2
For this next step, we will draw in the center part of your Christmas Tree drawing. Basically, you will draw something similar to the first step, but this time much longer.
You will draw two sections of the tree under the tree top, and the reference image will give you an idea of the length you want these sections to be.
Step 3
The next step in this Christmas Tree tutorial will ask you to draw two more parts of the tree.
The first part will be quite long, as the tree will reach out. The last part will be much shorter but still extend outward.
Again, the reference image will be a great guide to how these final pieces should look.
Step 4
For step 4 of the how to draw Christmas Tree tutorial, we will add the bottom part of the Christmas Tree.
To do this, you can draw a curved, serrated line connecting the bottom two sides of the trunk. It will curve down a bit as you can see in the picture.
Once satisfied with how it looks, you can add two curved lines at the end for your Christmas Tree trunk. it’s really starting to take shape right now!
Step 5
The main part of your Christmas Tree drawing is done, so in the next few steps we will add some details to complete it!
The details in this step will be small and subtle, as we are going to add some small jagged lines inside the tree to make the tree appear to have depth.
Step 6
Every Christmas Tree needs a nice ornament above to complete it, so we’ll add a star in this next step.
For this element you can draw a star like the one we see in the reference image, but if you have a favorite treetop ornament you can draw that star!
Once you’ve drawn your tree top, we’ll add some lines to the trunk of the Christmas Tree to give it a more wood-like appearance.
Step 7
Step #7 is going to be a lot of fun because we’re going to paint some fun decorations on your Christmas Tree drawing!
We’ve shown one way you can make the ornament look like the one in this image, but here’s where you can really get creative.
You can paint your favorite decorations and even add details like glitter. Maybe you can decorate it to look like the last Christmas tree you have in the house.
Once you’re happy with the decorations, you can add in any final details that you think your Christmas tree drawing could use to make it look great!
Step 8
Your awesome Christmas tree drawing is almost done, and all it needs is some pretty colors to complete it!
