Spruce is an unusually beautiful tree, which is usually depicted on both Christmas and New Year cards. Not everyone imagines how to draw a spruce, although there is absolutely nothing difficult about it. In fact, this tree is easier to draw than, for example, a spreading oak or a bright maple. Spruce is especially interesting and useful to draw from nature, for example, in a park or forest. But, if this is not possible, then you can look at this tree in a photograph or in a high-quality drawing, and only then start working.

How to draw a Christmas tree
We offer a Christmas tree option that you can decorate as you wish.
Send us the resulting drawing by e-mail. Please indicate I.F. child, age, city, country where you live and your baby will become a little famous! We wish you success!
Not all people are born with artistic talent, but sometimes situations arise when you urgently need to draw something. For example, on New Year's Eve, many people wonder how to draw a Christmas tree. After all, this evergreen tree becomes the center of the holiday, and often it is the drawings of Christmas trees that decorate interiors, children's albums, and postcards.
In this article we will consider various options for images of this coniferous tree. Let's learn how to draw a winter beauty not only for an adult, but also for a child.
The easiest way
The option for drawing a Christmas tree described below is more suitable for adults than for children. Although it is quite simple. It consists of five stages:
- The first thing to do is draw the axis of the tree. To do this, draw a vertical line with a pencil. It will be the basis on which the entire drawing will be formed.
- At the next stage, you need to designate the triangular shape of the tree. You don't have to draw a triangle to do this. You can mentally imagine it and be guided by it in the future.
- Then, from the top of the axis, we begin to draw light strokes, taking into account the triangular shape of the tree and branches. They should be pointing slightly downwards. The left side should mirror the right.
- Next we will designate the branches in more detail. The top of the Christmas tree, as in nature, should always be sharp. On the contrary, we make the lower branches more magnificent and wider. At the very bottom you should definitely provide a gap for the barrel. It is better to depict it wider.
- So, the tree is almost drawn. Now all that remains is to refine it. Using your imagination, you can decorate the Christmas tree by drawing balls, garlands, and toys. The upper part is traditionally decorated with a red star or dome.
Drawing with a child under 3 years old
In young children under 3 years of age, the perception of the surrounding reality is usually sensory. They see the world in holistic pictures, without distinguishing any nuances. Therefore, when drawing a Christmas tree with a small child, you should place the main emphasis on its shape. During this age period, children are just beginning to comprehend different geometric shapes. The baby will be happy to paint together with his mother a green triangle with small circles on it. It is better to use gouache paints. They are bright, rich, and fit perfectly in several layers.
So, at the beginning we draw a green triangle representing the crown and needles. Then, when the paint has dried, we begin to paint balls or beads. It's easier to paint them with cotton swabs rather than brushes. Plus, it's very exciting. Dipping a cotton swab into gouache, we place multi-colored round prints on top of the green color. To make the tree look even brighter, you can outline it with some contrasting felt-tip pen or pencil. Finally, using an old toothbrush and sprinkling white paint, you can create a snowy effect. The baby will be delighted with such actions.
Drawing the entire Christmas tree with colored pencils or felt-tip pens together with your child will be no less exciting. To do this, first draw an axis. And multi-colored strokes around the dark trunk and branches will create the effect of pine needles.
Drawing with children over 3 years old
On the one hand, it is easier to draw a spruce with children who are already going to kindergarten, since they already understand a lot and can offer some ideas themselves. On the other hand, it is more difficult, since a too simple version of execution is unlikely to suit them.
At this age, it is already more interesting to draw a Christmas tree with more detailed drawing of its parts and using a wider color palette. It is better to choose watercolor paints for such creativity; their texture allows you to obtain a greater number of shades and halftones.
To create a composition you will need:
- a piece of A4 paper (preferably for watercolors);
- watercolor paints;
- brushes (preferably kolinsky ones);
- container with water;
- napkins.
The process of drawing a spruce tree is as follows:
- Using broad strokes, we begin to form the tree from top to bottom. We draw the branches around the proposed trunk in semicircular rows. The trunk itself should not be depicted. Especially in black or brown. In this case, the spruce will look too pretentious. For branches we use mainly colors from emerald green to light green. To create a volume effect, it is worth adding blue and ocher colors to indicate the needles. The main thing is that the Christmas tree does not look monochromatic.
- After the tree has dried, you can start decorating: draw a five-pointed red star, draw beads with gouache or felt-tip pens, and “put” boxes with gifts under the tree.
- At the end, if desired, the work can be cut out and glued to a piece of colored cardboard or paper.
Draw with a pencil
For an adult who lacks artistic skills, drawing a New Year's tree is a little problematic, so you shouldn't immediately grab the paints. To begin with, it is better to do everything with a pencil, while working with an eraser and removing unnecessary or unsuccessful moments.
We present a small master class on how to do this step by step:
- The first thing you need to do is draw a triangle on a piece of paper. Instead of the base of this triangle, draw a semicircle. The result is a cone.
- Then, along the entire contour of this figure, which still only resembles a Christmas tree, we draw branches. Inside the triangle we also depict elements of branches, lines of future hanging beads.
- After this, we begin to draw in more detail the remaining remaining elements: balls, beads, toys, a star on the top of the head.
- Use an eraser to remove unnecessary pencil lines.
- You can paint the spruce with paints, for example, watercolors, colored pencils, pastels. But even if you simply give it volume by applying shading with a simple pencil, it will look quite beautiful. It is better to do shading according to the shape, observing the rules of light and shadow: in some places, press the pencil harder, in some cases, loosen the pressure.
Painting with paints
There are a huge number of options for depicting a Christmas tree with paints. Let's get to know a few of them. They cannot be called complex, and they all have one thing in common: the triangular shape of a Christmas tree is taken as the basis for the image. For example, a very original drawing turns out if you paint a tree in the form of a cone, inside of which there are balls of different colors and sizes. Draw a star at the top of the composition. You can draw such simple drawings even without preliminary pencil sketches, by applying paint directly to a sheet of paper with a brush.
If you replace the balls with multi-colored strokes, the effect will be no less interesting. Also, if you draw multi-colored lines diagonally inside the cone, the New Year's beauty will look beautiful and festive.
If the artist chose watercolor for painting, then the spruce should turn out tender and airy. This is due to the effect of such paints, since it is always advisable to dilute watercolors with plenty of water and create a feeling of airiness. Don't forget about this.
Drawing with gouache
Gouache has a number of irreplaceable advantages. For example, it is so dense that it can be applied in several layers. This quality allows you to create very rich and colorful New Year's drawings.
Using gouache, you can depict a fabulous spruce in a night landscape. To do this, use dark colors to create a suitable background. We draw stars and a month. Then, using light tones, we depict a festive beauty, on which we draw various toys in contrasting colors.
You can come up with an infinite number of similar compositions. A cone-shaped image of a Christmas tree, created by repeatedly pressing a stencil dipped in gouache, will look very creative. As a stencil, you can use cotton swabs, a rectangular piece of potato, a small piece of sponge, even small children's hands.
Currently, there are various variations on the theme “how to draw a Christmas tree.” On the Internet you can find many different examples of such work. The mirror reflection technique allows you to create trees that are different from each other. It is enough just to draw an axis from which various figured images will extend in different directions: lines, ovals, curls, circles, triangles.
When creating a drawing, it is always worth considering the age and initial skills of the artist. You cannot learn to draw a highly artistic work of art the first time. Secondly, when using certain materials, you always need to know about their qualities and assume what effect they can produce. It is better to take those paints that you have already worked with. If this was not possible, then it is better to first learn about their properties.
By approaching the process with desire and interest, doing everything with pleasure, you can come up with your own distinctive idea even without experience. This is especially true for children. They really like to try and invent something new. There is no need to limit them in this.
Whatever method those wishing to draw a New Year’s tree choose, the main thing is to show maximum imagination and skill during the process itself. Any materials and paints are suitable for this purpose. However, do not forget that the effect of different paints will also be different. The tips proposed in the article will help to significantly reduce the time it takes to draw a Christmas tree.
A decorated Christmas tree brings a festive mood to the house even in the absence of snow and frost. You can also draw it on paper if it is not possible to place an evergreen tree in the room. It will have a non-standard shape, but the decorations will be traditional - plain glass balls, a ribbon bow and long golden beads.
Necessary materials:
- album sheet;
- eraser and pencils.
- Christmas tree with pencils
Christmas tree with pencils
Stages of drawing a Christmas tree:
1. Our forest beauty will be very unusual, because the shape of the trunk should be drawn at the initial stage in the form of an arcuate line. At the bottom we will add a small pot that is used for flowers.
2. At the top of the arc-shaped line, draw a chic bow, which will replace the central star. From the decoration we draw lines to the sides to determine the shape of the Christmas tree.
3. Draw the branches of the Christmas tree, which will consist of five levels.
4. Decorate the Christmas tree with round balls and beads, which we attach from one branch to another. We also draw the trunk in the form of vertical lines and around it there is a little artificial snow in a pot.
5. First of all, we use a light green pencil, which we use to paint over the prickly branches of the Christmas tree. Carefully apply strokes to the areas around the beads and Christmas balls.
6. Use red and burgundy pencils to paint over the chic bow at the tip of the tree, the pot and a small number of Christmas balls.
7. But let’s create the beads themselves in a golden color using yellow and orange pencils. We will also make several spherical toys for the Christmas tree in this color.
8. Use a brown pencil to paint over the tree trunk, and also work out the shadow on the red areas of the drawing.
9. Paint the Christmas tree with a darker shade of green, and create a shade of soft blue on the artificial snow at the base of the tree.
10. Now we use a sharpened black pencil so that every detail in the drawing has a neat and clear outline. In addition, we use it to create shadows in all areas of the winter illustration. If possible, very small details in the form of beads can be worked out with a black gel pen or a 0.1 mm liner.

How to paint a Christmas tree in watercolor
A Christmas tree decorated with all kinds of tinsel and Christmas decorations creates a New Year's mood during the pre-holiday winter season. That's why it's so important to learn how to draw an evergreen tree with decorative elements for the New Year.
Necessary materials:
- watercolor;
Container with water;
Thin brush;
Pencil;
Eraser;
Ruler;
Liners 0.7 and 0.1 mm.
Stages of drawing a Christmas tree:
1. To create a Christmas tree, you should draw auxiliary lines for the design. To do this, first use a ruler and pencil to draw a vertical line. From its top we draw lines to the sides. This way we will get the frame of a Christmas tree on which we will hang a beautiful star.
2. On the left side we begin to draw the branches of the Christmas tree.
3. We will also draw them on the right side. Below we will add wide branches and artificial snow, which should look three-dimensional.
4. We begin to decorate the forest beauty and for this we take wide ribbons. We “lay” them carefully over the entire surface of the branches. Under the top of the tree, where there is already a star, add a voluminous bow.
5. Let's complement the empty spaces on the tree with beautiful lush bows, Christmas tree decorations in the form of glass balls and Christmas mistletoe. We distribute everything evenly to beautifully fill the branches of the evergreen tree.
6. Use light green watercolor to create the first layer on the Christmas tree. Use a brush to paint all the branches, including the top and lower branches at the base.
7. Mix an emerald green shade of paint with a drop of black on the palette. We get a dark shade with which we create a shadow on our Christmas tree.
8. Using strokes of blue paint diluted with water, create a light shade of snow under the Christmas tree. Then we will intensify the color in some parts and clear the brush of blue paint, because now we should take yellow watercolor. Using this sunny color we create round Christmas tree decorations and a star at the top of the tree. Now mix red, burgundy and dark brown watercolor to get a new shade for the ribbons and bows.
9. Using liners, we create a decorative outline and work out the details, creating volume and texture in the drawing with strokes.
10. This is how we get a watercolor drawing of a Christmas tree for the New Year. But painting with paints is not so difficult! Is not it?!

pencil, easy and beautiful, you should start simply with a vertical line. It will immediately indicate the height and size of the tree. The height of this line is the height of the tree. It turns out that the longer the line, the longer and larger the tree will be.
Now you need to draw a star on the top of the line - this is the top of the New Year's tree. A standard-sized Christmas tree should have three levels. You should start from the top. It is drawn directly under the star in the shape of a mountain. Add jagged ends to this level. Now draw the second part of the tree, also make it jagged. The last, lowest and largest mountain remains, which imitates the needles and branches of a fluffy beauty. All that remains is to draw the trunk, which will be visible only at the bottom of the tree.

In the picture, the spruce will look more natural and natural. It’s as if they took her from the forest and immediately put her on our drawing.
Interesting! There are many myths about the appearance of spruce. For example, someone draws its shape based on an oval, others believe that only rectangles should be chosen, and still others insist on a triangle.
First you will need to determine the height of the tree and its general outline. Here you should focus on the pyramid and remember that at the top the tree is narrow, at the bottom it will be as wide as possible. Also, the higher the branches grow on the spruce, the shorter they will be on the trunk. So, first you need to distribute the branches on the trunk. It is better to start with the top branches, the first
order.
The lower the branches fall, the more massive they become. You can even use green as a richer, darker shade to color them. You need to consistently draw branch by branch, draw small branches. But this is the only way to really achieve a real similarity between the tree in the picture and what can be found in the forest. We offer.
These are the main options for how to draw a Christmas tree step by step with a pencil, easily and beautifully.
