Printable How to draw a Tree in Silhouette Worksheet

How to draw a tree in silhouette worksheet and lesson notes.

This is a simple picture to draw and looks great with a colored sky; like sunset colors and pale blues, lavenders, and violets in the background. A watercolor wash would work well. There is no middle ground to worry about. 

This is one of my favorite projects. It really looks nice when you have bright sunset colors behind it.

LESSON NOTES

BACKGROUND
Draw the valley with just some simple wavy lines horizontally across the back. Be careful that you don't go too high up it will become distracting and amateurish. 

COMPOSITION
Normally I would never suggest that you put the point of interest in the middle of a picture but this is a very simple composition and that is about the only time a point of interest works in the middle.  

THE TREE
Draw the basic shape of the foreground hill with a sketch pencil. Keep it simple. Outline the trunks of the trees with the pencil and outline the leaves area. Begin to block in the trees completely and evenly. If you are using charcoal this would be easy but keep the application smooth. Block in the leaves but keep the edges irregular like individual leaves. Remember the branches and leaves go up and out. 

DETAILS
Keep some areas open for interest. You may want to add a few twigs crossing through the open areas. 

FINISHING TOUCHES
To finish, black in the foreground hill by using upward strokes of the pencil to give the effect of grass, but leave a few areas white for interest.

.
ROUGH DRAFT
Start by lightly drawing the circles of the apple. Not too many and have one slightly in front of the other. The circles should not be perfect but be a little flat at the top. Two lines come out of the top for the stem. The stems connect to the branch; use a double line to draw the branch. The leaves come in groups of three; they are round at the stem and come to a blunt point. They are curled, so the sides roll-up.

For interest, put some leaves behind the apples and behind the other leaves. Have one leaf in front of the apple.

Look at the rough draft to see if it needs any changes.

ADD VALUE (DARKNESS)
The apples are round, and the shadows make them look round. Remember, the light comes from one side, so all the shadows are on the other. There might be reflected shadows and reflected lights. They make it look natural.

The leaves are a little darker than the apples but just a little and the stem is even darker.

DETAILS
The bottom of the apple has papery parts of the old flower, it looks like a scribble. There are some dots both darker and lighter going up the sides of the apple. The leaves have saw-tooth edges.

BEGINNING
Start with some circles that are all the same size and one oval for interest. (Draw these lightly so you can erase them later.) In the center, draw a light circle.

FORM
There are four petals like a cross; they are like narrow hearts, draw them inside the circles. Draw the top one first, then the bottom one next, then one on the left and the one on the right last; that way, they are even. Don't try to make them perfect or the same because, in nature, nothing is perfect; some are twisted or wilted.

BRANCHES AND LEAVES
The branches are curved from above; they go down and up under the flowers. Draw two lines, one for each side.

The leaves are teardrop-shaped in twos and come off of their own little branches. Put some leaves behind the flowers for realism.

In the center are a lot of little dots sticking up.

SHADING
Shade the area around the flower so it the only thing left white or color their ping. The leaves are bright green, and the branches are red-brown.

I hope you draw a masterpiece!

The bottom of the clusters will be darker. Between the clusters draw shadows. Remember to leave the branches showing.

LESSON NOTES

BEGINNING STEPS
The basic shape is like a lolly-pop with a curved stick. Draw really light so you can erase. Don't make the trunk straight but make the trunk curved or shaped like an "S." It starts out as two lines that are wider at the bottom and narrower at the top but keep it skinny.

LEAVES
Start the leaves by making ten or eleven lines from the top of the trunk outward to the circle of the "lolly-pop." Group them in twos and threes and leave a few gaps to give interest. Draw the leaves by outlining them first; use two lines that go from the top of the trunk to the edge marked by the ten or so lines you drew before, they should look like swords or feathers. Draw them each different; some are going to be turned, some will be twisted, and for some only one side is showing. Erase the extra marks. Finish the leaves with short lines going out from the long center leaf lines. Avoid repeated patterns.

DETAILS
The coconuts are ovals, draw only two or three. They are grouped together at the top of the trunk. Don't make them side by side put one behind and only part showing.

The bottom of the trunk spreads out just a little, its roots are like fingers.

At this point, you may want to go over it with markers or color pencils.

Add shadows to the trunk, leaves ground and coconuts. Add a beach, a boat,  the ocean and maybe a sunset or a seagull.

Don't rush through it take your time and take a few breaks. It will be a drawing you can be proud of.

If you have problems see the how to print tab above or try the links below that have the worksheet in different formats.

Printing tip. Set your printer for greyscale and not black and white so you get all the detail.

How to draw a willow tree worksheet.

Some printers work better with a PDF file. For a PDF file, CLICK HERE.

BEGINNINGS
I always start an outdoor picture with an idea of where the horizon (where the sky meets the earth) is. I never recommend that the horizon to be in the middle of the picture because that is boring, but here I sort of did make it that way, it only works because it is very jagged like the trees and the forest in the background.

TRUNK
The trunks of willow trees are twisted and not straight, so start the willow with a wiggly trunk and put in some angled lines for the twisted look.

BRANCHES
In my drawing, I wanted to show some branches, so I did the branches before I did the long hanging leaves. The willow tree has branches that just go out away from the trunk so draw them outward and then up.

OUTLINE SHAPE
Lightly draw some circles to be an outline for the shape of the tree's top. Make it interesting and not just an umbrella or mushroom shape.

HANGING LEAVES
The hanging leaves all come to a stop at a straight line at the bottom so draw a line to keep you from drawing the leaves too low. The hanging leaves on the back side of the tree are more of shading than drawing. Shade downward and fill in the areas behind the branches so they stand out. Then draw the leaves in the front of the branches sketching down and outward. Use a pattern like an upside-down "Y."

DARKER AREAS
You might need to change to a lighter and harder pencil for the leaves on the sunny side of the tree and use darker softer pencils for the leaves on the shady side of the tree. If you have overdrawn the leaves and made the tree too dark use and eraser to lift out some lighter areas. Make the grass in clumps under the tree.

BACKGROUND
Willows grow near water so I put a creek next to mine but you might want yours to be by a lake or waterfall.

Draw the background lightly since it is far away, add some interest to the background with a dark row of bushes and a lighter row of trees.

It is not very hard to draw blossoms on a tree and if you take your time and use some colors it could be a beautiful picture.  If it is the first time you are trying a project like this then keep it simple.

There are different blossoms: some are crinkly, some fuzzy, and some geometric, like ours here.

A WORD ABOUT PRINTING

To print the worksheet, highlight it and send it to your printer. Some printers work better if you copy and paste it into a Word doc and print from there (sometimes the margins are off, but you can reset them on the Word doc toolbar). If you have problems printing,  CLICK HERE to visit the how-to-print page for some suggestions.

PRINTABLE LESSON NOTES

DESIGN
Start with a light pencil like a 2b and draw two or three circles for the blossoms.  Make five marks evenly spaced around the edge of the circle.   Draw a small circle in the center.

BEGINNING
Draw five circles inside the big circle these five should touch the center and touch one of the five marks. Don't make these circles perfect keep them irregular and interesting.

Add a line starting from the center and going halfway down the middle of the five irregular circles.

In the center, circle draw three or four smaller circles.

LEAVES
Draw the leaves with two sweeping lines that curve out away and then back toward each other. Place them behind the blossoms, if you shade or color the leaves it will make the blossoms look brighter. If you want to add details you can add the ridges and veins of the leaves.

BUDS
The buds are smaller circles at the end of a skinny line. Draw one or two curved lines through the buds to make individual petals.

The branch is not straight but a little zig-zag. Use short choppy lines to give it texture.

Erase the extra lines last.

You can color your picture. Use a reddish-brown for the branch and add some purple for the shadow.
Make the sky light blue and put some purple splashes in the upper half.
The leaves are yellow highlights with green and a little blue for shadow.
The blossoms are mostly white but add a touch of pink around the edges and lavender for the shadows.

Start with a 2h or 2b pencil and lightly draw the basic outline in three lines. The first line is like a wide rainbow or umbrella. The next two lines are the sides of the trunk they are widely spaced and curve inward.

The leaves are in bunches at the end of the branches, so draw a lot of circles almost randomly inside the rainbow shape this is just to be like an outline. Now start to add detail and texture to the leaves by drawing lots of small squiggly lines inside those circles. Switch to a 4b or 6b pencil to make the leaves darker at the bottom of each circle group. Keep the top of each circle leaf group light. Add some branches wiggling out from behind and between the leaf groups.

The trunk is rough so draw lots of choppy vertical lines. Make one side of the trunk darker for the shade. The roots are shaped like a rounded letter "N" draw them a few times.

The grass is a lot of little clumps scattered. Keep them dark under the tree to make it look like shade.

Make a little world for your tree put some mountains in the background and other trees far away.

In my illustration at the bottom, I used a fine tip marker and outlined the best lines then erased the pencils. I finished it with a little watercolor. I thought the tire swing was a nice touch as well as the heart carved into it since those little touches tell a story.

Take your time and you will have a picture you can be proud of.

PRINTABLE LESSON NOTES

This project is a little more complicated since it has a structure in a forest.  The arched stone bridge makes a great contrast to the woods, both in shape and texture.

Always start with the horizon, but here we are under the trees, so there is no normal horizon, but I added the light at the edge of the woods and the bushes. You would not put the focus or point of interest in the center, but this time, it works. Draw the bridge as two arches, then draw the "S" curve of the creek with two big "S"s. Sketch the rocks and the tree trunks for the front trees lightly.

Develop the foreground by adding the texture of leaves on the ground. Create shadows and roughness on the rocks with jagged strokes with your pencil. Shade and texture the tree trunks and add leaves.

The bridge is foreground so add stones and shading. Make the stones different shapes. Draw them lightly with a 2b pencil and after they look good, go over them with a darker pencil like a 4 or 6.

Keep the background light by only using a 2b or HB pencil. Don't put in a lot of details in the background. Just suggest trees and bushes with a few outlines.

Build up the foreground with 4b pencils and more details and more leaves. Put a shadow under the bridge and leave the rest of the creek alone, so it is white.

Take your time. A drawing like this can take hours, but it will be beautiful when you are done.

I offer these how-to-draw worksheets for free, but your support will help me keep it going on.  Thank you.
