Cedar Tree Drawing step by step tutorial:
Step 1. Draw the tree trunk and roots
Start by drawing two slightly curved lines to form the trunk of the cedar tree, making it narrower toward the top. Next, draw several short, thick, pointed lines at the bottom to create the roots.
Step 2. Draw the first layer of foliage
Draw the first layer of cedar foliage near the top of the trunk. Use uneven, curved lines to create the drooping branches and needle-like leaves.
Step 3. Add more layers of foliage
Continue drawing additional layers of drooping foliage below the first one. Make each layer slightly smaller as you move toward the top of the tree. Leave small spaces between the layers to give the branches a natural appearance.
Step 4. Draw the top of the tree
Add the pointed top of the cedar tree using short, curved lines. Make the upper branches smaller and narrower to complete the tree’s overall shape.
Step 5. Add texture to the tree trunk
Draw several short, irregular lines along the trunk to show the rough texture of the cedar tree’s bark. Add a few details to the roots to make the trunk look more natural.
Step 6. Color your cedar tree drawing
First, use reddish-brown to color the tree trunk and roots. Then, use different shades of green to color the layers of evergreen foliage. Add darker green to create depth and make your cedar tree look more realistic.
Congratulations! You have finished drawing and coloring a beautiful cedar tree!
