Perhaps this is why we’re naturally drawn to them as artistic subjects. From basic shapes to final details, this book teaches the step-by-step process of drawing a wide variety of trees. You’ll also learn about basic tree shapes and leaf types, as well as the fundamentals of shading, composition, and perspective. Inside you’ll find tips on drawing root patterns, branches, bark—even fallen trees—and simple techniques for rendering cast shadows and ground foliage. With just a little practice, you’ll soon be creating many different types of trees, each with its own unique qualities and elegance. —William F. Powell Tree Trunks A tree trunk is basically a long cylindrical shape. Likewise, the branches are longer cylinders that extend from the trunk. Draw light elliptical lines around the trunk at strategic points to indicate changes in the trunk’s direction. Branches & Boughs As trees grow, they become both taller and thicker. Notice the different growth patterns of the different types of trees. With broad-leaved trees, the trunk divides into many crooked spreading branches, while the pine grows upward with shorter branches at somewhat regular intervals. Root Patterns Tree roots grow down and outward like a crisscrossing net to anchor the tree in the ground. The root patterns have twists and bumps, which make them interesting to draw. Of course, old trees have more intricate shapes than young ones do, but all kinds of roots can be drawn from simple block-in lines. Foliage Textures Many elements can be found at the base of a tree, including rocks, moss, ferns, twigs, and dead leaves. Your drawings of trees will look more natural when they are surrounded by a variety of plants and other landscape elements.
