How to Draw a Christmas Tree with Gifts & Presents Under it

Step 1

Lightly draw a triangle shape.

Step 2

– Draw a rounded triangle…one with inward curved lines on the side and an upwards curved line on the bottom. It might help you to first lightly draw a triangle and then use that as a guide to draw the rounded triangle.

Step 3

Use the large triangle from step 1 to guide you with this step. Draw rounded triangles all the way down the large triangle…each one slightly bigger. Look at the picture above to help figure out what I mean.

Step 4

– Draw a star at the top of the tree. For those who don’t know how to draw a star…lightly draw a circle with 5 dots spread out along the circle, as seen above.

– Erase the guidelines within the tree, as pictured above.

– Draw a letter ‘W’ shape under the green tree that we drew in previous steps.

Step 5

– For the star, draw a line from 1 to 3…and then from 3 to 5.

– At the bottom of the tree, draw zig-zags in the shape of a letter ‘W’ and a letter ‘S’.

Step 6

– For the star, draw a line from 5 to 2 … and then from 2 to 4.

– Lightly draw curved lines (as seen in blue).

– Draw circles all over the tree for ornaments.

Step 7

– For the star, draw a line from number 4 to 1.

– At the bottom of the tree, draw 2 inwards curved lines for the stump.

–  Draw little balls along the curved guidelines that you drew in the last step.

– At the top of each ornament, draw a half circle.

Step 8

– At the bottom of the tree, draw 3 overlapping squares and 2 ovals for gifts.

Step 9

– Draw 2 lines across and 2 lines down…they will criss-cross.

– Draw 2 lines connecting the 2 ovals…now you have a cylinder shape.

Step 10

– For each bow…draw a circle and two number ‘3’ shapes.

Step 11

– Erase the guidelines…they were blue in our tutorial.

– Darken the lines that we are keeping.
