How to Draw a Log Pile
Draw a log pile 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 bottom row.
Step 1: The bottom row
Low on your paper draw 3 circles in a row, touching, each as big as a plum.
Step 2: The middle row
On top of the bottom row draw 2 more circles the same size, each in the dip between 2 logs.
Step 3: The top log
On top of those 2 draw one last circle in the dip, so the logs make a pyramid.
Step 4: Tree rings
Inside each circle draw a smaller circle for a tree ring.
Step 5: Log middles
In the middle of each tree ring draw a small filled-in dot for the heart of the log.
Step 6: Cracks
On each log end draw one short crack line from the outside edge in towards the ring, stopping short.
Step 7: The ground
Draw a long straight ground line right under the bottom row, from far left to far right.
Step 8: Grass
From the ground line on each side of the pile flick 2 little grass blades up.
Step 9: Tan log ends
Colour inside every tree ring tan, around the dark dot in the middle.
Step 10: Brown bark
Colour the bark brown, around each tan log end out to the circle. Your log pile is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a log pile, drawn by you.
