How to Draw a Christmas Tree

One of a must-have important item in your house if you celebrate Christmas is a pine tree that consist of several additional features around it. Such as a star, light bulb, a ribbon, and most importantly are gifts below the tree. It’s called a Christmas Tree that you can put it on your living room that can be seen by every family member in the house. If you want to draw Christmas Tree, you can follow my instructions. Prepare a paper, a pencil, and an eraser. Now we’re ready to draw!

Steps:

Step 1: First of all, we’ll start by drawing the guidelines. The purpose of guidelines is to help you estimate the size and to guide you in drawing the rest. Therefore, we’re going to draw from top to bottom. Therefore, we need to start drawing a big triangle and add a small rectangle below it. This will be the guideline for the Christmas Tree.

Step 2: Moving on to the next step. Pine tree tend to have spiky leaves, therefore create spikes around the tree that resemble the regular pine tree. Then, add a small trapezium below the previous rectangle to create the stand of the tree and hold the tree from falling.

Step 3: After the previous step, we’ll continue drawing the detail of the tree which is the star. Create a star shape above the tree and add two short straight lines to hold the star.

Step 4: After that, we can start drawing the circle Christmas bulbs around the tree by creating many circles on the tree.

Step 5: Now we can continue with the previous part, by adding lights on the tree with many smaller circles. Make the circles as many as you want.

Step 6: Then, we can continue adding variety of bells, ribbons, and diamond light bulbs. You can draw the bells by drawing a half circle with curves and end it with a line below the previous steps. Add a small circle on top of it to hook the bell with the tree. As for the diamond light bulbs, draw a diamond shapes with also a small circle on top of it. Lastly add the ribbon by adding curvy triangles that mirrored each other and add circle in the middle of it. After that, add the tip of the ribbon by adding short straight lines that resemble uneven rectangles (see picture to better understand).

Step 7: Finally, we can start drawing the gifts. Make three rectangles that consist of a vertical line on the one-third right-hand side of the shapes to create the sides for each gift.

Step 8: Next, draw the wrapper and the ribbon by making a cross on each side (see picture). Then, when adding the ribbon, add several narrow curvy lines with a curve inside of it and add uneven rectangles to draw the tip of the ribbon (see picture to better understand

Step 9: Lastly, If there’s a line that intersecting each other, this is the time to erase it. To see your Christmas Tree clearly, you’ll need clean lines. Voila! You’ve finished drawing a Christmas Tree!

Since you’re drawing a Christmas Tree, you need to look at the actual reference of what you’re going to draw. It is important because drawing plant’s form won’t be smooth or symmetrical. Even if it’s symmetrical, the form will still be uneven. You’ll need keen eyes and a lot of practice so you can make your drawing perfect. Good luck!
