How to Draw a Pine Tree
Draw a pine 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: top tier.
Step 1: Top tier
Near the top, start at a point. Slant down left, draw 4 bumps across, and slant back up to it.
Step 2: Middle tier
Start on the bottom of the top tier. Draw a longer slant down, 5 bumps across, and up to it.
Step 3: Bottom tier
Start on the bottom of the middle tier. Draw a longer slant down, 6 bumps across, and up to it.
Step 4: Trunk
From the bumps under the bottom tier, draw a trunk down, wider at the ground, back up to the bumps.
Step 5: Two pinecones
Hang 2 little egg pinecones, one under a bump of the top tier and one under the middle tier.
Step 6: Pinecone scales
Across each pinecone draw 2 rows of tiny U bumps, from edge to edge, for the scales.
Step 7: Ground
Draw a long ground line under the trunk, a little wider than the tree on each side.
Step 8: Grass
On each side of the trunk, away from it, draw a tuft of 3 short grass blades on the ground.
Step 9: Green tree
Colour all 3 tiers leaf green, around the pinecones, right to the bumpy edges.
Step 10: Wood trunk, brown pinecones
Colour the trunk wood brown and the pinecones darker brown. Go over your lines and your pine tree is done!
