How to draw a tree: general diagram
First of all, let’s decorate the “skeleton” of the tree with leaves. You can create them with simple dots, making a leafy crown from individual dots (Figure A). As for coloring, for a summer tree it is better to use several shades of yellow or green; the autumn version can be done using red, yellow, orange or green paints.
Foliage image options
As mentioned above, we draw a tree “in principle,” that is, an image familiar to most of us. Naturally, in nature, different types of trees differ significantly from each other. In our drawing there will also be a difference in the trunks: a powerful and thick giant oak, pine or rowan, a weeping slender birch with drooping branches. What exactly to depict is up to you.
Simple tree: drawing lesson for children from 4 years old
This is actually a very easy but fun way to draw a tree. Of course, it is impossible to determine its type. Yes, this is not required here. The main thing is that we know for sure that the tree is deciduous.
1. Together with your child, draw a trunk and several voluminous, large branches. The foliage must be made in the shape of an oval.
Oak - step-by-step execution with children from 6 years old
This oak is somewhat reminiscent of an ordinary tree, which we have already considered. However, there are much more individual details: complex branches, bark texture and hollow. Don't worry if your child makes the lesson easier or misses something. The main goal is for the tree to be powerful and stocky.
We draw a birch tree with children from 8 years old step by step
For many children, drawing such a tree is a difficult task. Why? Here everything is as close as possible to a realistic image, there are complex lines and details. Therefore, you should not draw a birch for preschoolers, as well as those who study in primary school. Most likely they will try to simplify the drawing.
Draw your child's attention to the birch branches - they are leaning down!
Pine: step-by-step implementation with children from 8 years old
Now let's leave deciduous trees and move on to conifers. Tell your children, if they don't already know, that the pine tree is an evergreen tree. Therefore, it makes no difference what time of year you paint it: summer or winter - the crown is always the same.
To draw pine trees, the same principle is used as for deciduous trees. The only difference is that the green needle spots must be clearly connected to the branches. In addition, unlike deciduous trees, this tree has a more voluminous “bare” part of the trunk.
Christmas tree - a simple drawing diagram for children over 4 years old
You can draw another, no less popular and well-known coniferous tree, a Christmas tree, in several ways. But we will consider only one - a coniferous and very realistic tree for adult children. You can see the drawing in the picture below.
And now an unusual option - we draw a palm tree with children from 7 years old
So, earlier we learned how to draw trees that grow in our country. Now it's time for more exotic plants. For example, it is very interesting to draw a palm tree - a decorative, simple, but at the same time, original tree. Translated from Latin, palm means “palm” - “palma”. Apparently this is due to the palm leaves spread out like “fingers”.
We will present two main options for drawing this tree: the first is a more realistic image, the second is, one might say, “cartoonish.” The difficulty of completing both drawings is approximately the same. Children from 7 to 8 years old can easily cope with this task, of course, not without the help of their parents.
Option No. 1 - a diagram of drawing a palm tree with children from 7 years old in several steps.
Option No. 2
OK it's all over Now. Now you have personally seen that drawing a tree is easy. And it doesn’t matter what exactly you want to depict: oak, birch, palm tree, etc. The main thing is to believe in your own strength and, of course, show a little imagination. Below we provide additional materials.
