How to Sketch a Tree?

Draw a simple trunk with two slightly curved vertical lines

Add a few main branches extending upward and outward

Sketch smaller branches coming off the main branches

Outline the canopy with a loose, irregular shape

Fill the canopy with clustered leaf shapes or textured scribbles

Vary the thickness of the trunk and branches

Add roots at the base if desired

Include bark lines on the trunk for texture

Refine the overall silhouette to make it look natural

Erase unnecessary guide lines and darken the final sketch
