How To Draw a Christmas Tree

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to draw a Christmas tree.

Step 1: Sketch the Basic Structure

• Draw a tall vertical line as the tree’s center axis.
  
• Add a wide triangle for the tree’s overall shape.
  
• Lightly sketch a rectangle at the bottom for the tree trunk.
  

Step 2: Shape the Branch Layers

• Replace the straight triangle with three scalloped layers representing tree branches.
  
• Keep the top layer small, the middle one medium, and the bottom one wide.
  
• Draw a simple trunk underneath the bottom layer.
  

Step 3: Refine the Tree and Trunk

• Smooth out the scalloped edges and erase the guide triangle.
  
• Thicken the trunk slightly and add subtle shading beneath it for depth.
  
• The tree now looks full and symmetrical.
  

Step 4: Add Details and Decorations

• Draw a star at the top.
  
• Add circular ornaments randomly across the tree.
  
• Lightly shade the tree and trunk to give it dimension and form.
