Spruce is a symbol of the holiday

Spruce is a coniferous tree that everyone associates with the holiday, the New Year! This evergreen coniferous beauty for children becomes a real green fairy, delighting them on the morning of January 1 with gifts hidden under the branches. Does your child ask you to draw a Christmas tree? Or maybe you need to make some composition with it for a children's party or a garden matinee?We will be happy to provide you with some simple workshops that will teach you how to draw a fir tree step by step.

Method 1: top to bottom

The first way, which we will consider in our article, will be based on drawing a tree from its top. Learn to draw such a spruce. And then it will not be difficult for you to create a whole forest on a piece of paper!

So, how to draw a fir tree starting from its top? It's very simple!

1. You need to start drawing with one vertical line.

   

2. Starting from the top,draw a triangular top of a spruce. Its sides should be uneven, outline them with smooth zigzag lines. From the bottom close the top in the same way.

   

3. Now you need to draw the second tier of the crown. Draw it by analogy with the top of a tree, but make it more magnificent. Add a couple of lightning-like strokes, so you will add volume and some detail to your creation.

   

4. We draw the third tier of the crown. It is under the second. Pay attention to the image: this level has longer needles. Draw them shaggy, do not forget to add details, strokes for volume on the surface of the Christmas tree.

   

5. Now you need to repeat the previous paragraph. The only difference is that the length of the needles will become even longer, and the level needs to be made even more magnificent and wide.

   

6. We repeat our manipulations in the same spirit. We make the next tier of the crown even wider and more voluminous, the needles are slightly longer. The edges are also rounded.

   

7. Drawing another tier. Our tree is almost ready!

   

8. Now we create the final tier of the tree's crown. We add a trunk to it. Try to portray the trunk beautiful, voluminous and natural. To do this, draw indentations in the bark with strokes. Use the eraser to erase the original vertical line and any mistakesyou had.

   

9. Done! Here is such a beautiful fluffy beauty you should get too! Now it can be painted.

   

Method 2: bottom up

The first way to depict spruce is not bad, but, you see, it is much more convenient to draw from the bottom up, and not vice versa. This makes it much easier to adjust and plan the height of the tree.

How to draw a fir tree from bottom to top? We'll show you now!

1. Draw a stump.

2. Add branched roots to it.

   

3. Draw the lower crown with smooth rounded lines. The lowest line of branches should be almost vertical, but with the help of side lines we narrow the tree as it “grows”. Add a few strokes inside the crown, giving it a lush look.

4. By analogy with the previous paragraph, draw the middle crown. Please note that the length of the needles becomes shorter.

   

5. Depicting the top of our Christmas tree. It will consist of three small tiers, each of which will be smaller. At the tip of the topmost last tier of the crown, draw the letter L. Please note: the length of the needles will become shorter as you approach the top.

6. Our green beauty is ready!

   

Method 3: Easy

How to draw a fir tree in the easiest and most unpretentious way? We know him andwe will definitely share with you. Even a small child can draw a Christmas tree using this method.

1. Draw a tapered tall trunk.

2. Using almost straight lines, add the outlines of the branches to the trunk. Let your strokes be of different lengths and directions.

   

3. And now reward each branch with horizontal strokes imitating needles. At the tree trunk, make the strokes the longest, and by the end of the branches they should disappear.

   

   This is such a cute and simple spruce we got. This is the fastest method of all three presented in the article.
