How to Draw a Cherry Tree
Draw a cherry tree in 11 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: top lobe.
Step 1: Top lobe
Above the middle of your paper draw a round ball of soft bumps, as big as your fist.
Step 2: Two side lobes
Tucked behind the big lobe, a little lower, draw a smaller ball of bumps on each side.
Step 3: Trunk
Start under the leaves, left of the middle. Draw a line down to a root, stopping near the bottom. Repeat.
Step 4: Branches
From each trunk line draw 2 lines up into a side lobe. Rub out the trunk line between them.
Step 5: Leafy hills
Inside the big lobe draw 3 hill bumps sloping down from the left edge, and 3 more from the right.
Step 6: Cherries
Hang 4 pairs of cherries in the leaves, each pair 2 little circles side by side.
Step 7: Stems and leaves
Draw a stem up from each cherry so each pair meets in a V. Add a leaf at the top.
Step 8: Ground and grass
Draw a long ground line under the trunk from left to right. Add a few short grass blades.
Step 9: Green leaves
Colour all 3 lobes and the tiny leaves green, right up to the bumpy edges, going round the cherries.
Step 10: Wood trunk
Colour the trunk and the branches wood brown, stopping at the leaves.
Step 11: Red cherries
Colour every cherry red. Go over your lines and your cherry tree is done!
