How to Draw a Dragon Blood Tree
Draw a dragon blood tree in 10 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: the trunk.
Step 1: The trunk
Start low in the middle. Draw a thick trunk up, wider at the bottom, and stop where it forks.
Tip This tree looks like a giant umbrella turned inside out.
Step 2: Four branches
From the trunk top draw 4 branches curving up and out, thinner at the ends. Stop in the air.
Step 3: Forks
Start at the open end of each outer branch. Draw 2 short twigs forking up in a V. Stop in the air.
Step 4: The dome
Over the branches draw a huge dome like an umbrella. Give its bottom edge soft bumps over the branch tips.
Step 5: Stones
On the ground draw 3 flat stones like little hills: 1 on the left and 2 on the right.
Step 6: The ground
Start near the left edge, draw the ground line under the trunk, stop near the right. Skip the stones.
Step 7: Sandy ground
Go over your lines, then colour the ground under the line sand, right to the edges of the paper.
Step 8: Grey stones
Colour the 3 stones grey.
Step 9: Green dome
Colour the whole dome green, right up to its bumpy edge.
Step 10: Brown trunk
Colour the trunk and all the branches brown. Your dragon blood tree is done!

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a dragon blood tree, drawn by you.
