Introduction
Christmas is just around the corner, and what better way to get into the festive spirit than by drawing your very own cartoon Christmas tree? Follow along with this step by step drawing guide to create your own adorable holiday icon.
Materials Needed
- Pencil
- Eraser
- Drawing paper
- Coloring pencils or markers (optional)
Step 1: Drawing the Outline
Start by drawing a triangle shape for the outline of the Christmas tree. Make the base of the triangle wider than the top to create the classic tree shape. You can use light and simple strokes for this step, as you can always go back and make adjustments later.
Step 2: Adding Branches
Next, add curved lines coming out from the sides of the triangle to create the branches of the tree. These lines can vary in size and shape to give the tree a more natural look. It's okay if they aren't perfectly symmetrical, as that will add to the cartoonish charm.
Step 3: Decorating the Tree
Now it's time to add some festive decorations to your tree. Draw small circles or ovals scattered throughout the branches to represent ornaments. You can also add a star or other tree topper at the very top of the tree.
Step 4: Adding Details
To add some finishing touches, you can draw garland or tinsel draping down the branches of the tree. You can also add a tree skirt at the base of the tree and some presents or a cute little train around the bottom for extra holiday cheer.
Step 5: Coloring (optional)
If you want to add some color to your drawing, now is the time to break out your coloring pencils or markers. You can use traditional Christmas colors like green, red, and gold, or mix it up with your own unique color scheme.
Conclusion
Congratulations, you've successfully drawn your own cartoon Christmas tree! This festive drawing is perfect for holiday cards, decorations, or just for fun. Feel free to experiment with different styles and decorations to make your tree truly one-of-a-kind.
