How to Draw a Eucalyptus Branch
Draw a eucalyptus branch 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 branch.
Step 1: The branch
Start low on the left. Draw a long bowed branch up to the top right, getting thinner at the tip.
Step 2: First leaf pair
Near the bottom of the branch draw a round leaf like a coin on each side, touching the branch.
Tip Eucalyptus leaves are round and silvery, in pairs.
Step 3: Two more pairs
A little further up draw another pair of round leaves, and another pair above that, each a touch smaller.
Step 4: Two more pairs again
Keep going up the branch with two more pairs of round leaves, smaller still.
Step 5: The last pair
Near the tip draw one last small pair of round leaves.
Step 6: The tip leaf
At the very tip draw one little round leaf growing out of the end of the branch.
Step 7: Leaf veins
On the 6 biggest leaves draw a vein from the branch out along the middle, stopping before the edge.
Step 8: Teal leaves
Go over your lines, then colour the leaves below the branch teal, like silvery eucalyptus.
Step 9: More teal leaves
Colour the leaves above the branch and the tip leaf teal too.
Step 10: Brown branch
Colour the branch wood brown, and your eucalyptus branch is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a eucalyptus branch, drawn by you.
