How to Draw a Fig Tree
Draw a fig 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: stout trunk.
Step 1: Stout trunk
Start near the bottom. Draw 2 trunk lines a finger apart, flaring out at the bottom, stopping below the middle.
Step 2: Left branch
From the left trunk line draw a branch up-left to a rounded tip, then back down to a V.
Step 3: Middle and right branches
From the V draw a middle branch up to a tip, down to a second V, then a right branch.
Step 4: Left leaf
On the left branch tip draw a big 3-lobed leaf, then a vein from the branch into each lobe.
Tip Make the middle lobe the biggest, like a mitten with a thumb on each side.
Step 5: Middle leaf
Draw another 3-lobed leaf with 3 veins on the middle branch tip, pointing straight up.
Step 6: Right leaf
Draw one more leaf with its veins on the right branch tip, pointing up and out.
Step 7: Fat figs
Draw 4 figs, 2 under each side branch: a short stem from the branch down to a fat pear.
Step 8: Ground and grass
Draw a long ground line under the trunk, far left to far right, and a small grass tuft each side.
Step 9: Green leaves
Colour every big leaf green, right out to the lobes.
Step 10: Brown trunk
Colour the trunk and branches brown.
Step 11: Purple figs
Colour the figs a deep purple. Go over your lines and your fig tree is done!
