5 tips to draw trees effectively

[@jcepri]

i love the idea of taking a small sketch book out and drawing real trees to practice form and texture. great tutorial.

[@JosueWithContext]

+Jeff C Honestly I feel drawing trees in nature really helped me step up to a different level. Thanks for your comment :D

[@euphoricstars403]

+Agapey can you a step by step video of this and drawing it slowly that would be great...

[@euphoricstars403]

+Agapey can you do a***

[@raphaelb.3869]

Wow! One of the best fast tutorials about drawing I ever saw on youtube. And I am kind of picky. Congratulations !

[@JosueWithContext]

+Raphaël B. Thank you! I'm glad i've satisfied your pickyness!

[@pinkwolf3052]

hi nice work

[@PM-ns2td]

Raphaël B. Wow

[@PM-ns2td]

Raphaël B. Hi there

[@Shadrakor]

I started seriously trying to draw for the first time less than a week ago now, and so far I can draw tall grass pretty well and I at least understand the concepts of water (with some practice I'm confident I can make it look really good). But trees looked downright impossible to me. This tutorial I think really made the process look simple, at least for naked trees, and for someone who has absolutely zero experience with drawing and no formal schooling in it I can really appreciate that. I'm not sure if this has helped me improve yet, but I can say for sure that this is my first major stepping stone in the right direction :D.

[@JosueWithContext]

hey, i'm glad I could help in whatever way in your learning experience. Just practice daily and you will get better in no time!

[@arctic_corner]

this is the best tutorial Ive ever seen! i always thought that trees were hard and not so interesting to draw but after this tutorial i feel like i could draw many types of trees beautifully and finally draw good landscapes !! Thanks!!!!!!

[@JosueWithContext]

glad I could help :)

[@88malhi]

Thank you - very well explained and sufficient examples. I am going to sketch a few trees each day.

[@JosueWithContext]

+MaryAnne Long hey I'm happy that my video helped you, I am also drawing a few trees each day.

[@ScallopSauce]

As I first start drawing, I had a hard time with background. Now I've watched this, I feel I don't have to be shy anymore when I draw a scene. Now I gotta find a way to color all these to make them bright but thank you!

[@JosueWithContext]

glad I could help :)

[@해picture]

[@JosueWithContext]

[@emptube]

This helped a lot, I'm currently doing a drawing of a Tree with octopus tentacles instead of roots, and the illusion of a skull (backside of an owl for the skull nose, and two crescent moons for skull eyes, one of the moons are drawn to resemble a balloon) It's complicated but very fun! I am having the most trouble with the tentacles, but these tips should help me a lot, thanks

[@JosueWithContext]

+Ember Sommer Sounds very like a very surreal drawing, I'm glad I could help some how :)

[@danielspellan8409]

Thanks man! I am working on some 2D sculptures of trees using small pieces of corten steel welded together. Your video was unbelievably helpful! It is a totally different medium and method but your explanation of certain concepts were really helpful.

[@JosueWithContext]

+Daniel Spellan I'm glad my video could help even someone using a different medium.

[@pgfamilia8521]

Thank you! I'm studing trees,helpful tutorial!

[@justinevirtue1755]

Excellent tutorial. You get right to the point and easy to understand. I noted your recommendation for graphite pencils but what about charcoal and paper? What kind of paper would you recommend that's not too expensive but will hold up if I decide save or stick it in one of those ready-made frames? Thank you.

[@JosueWithContext]

+Justine Virtue for charcoal I would get Faber Castell 2B, 4B, and 6B and for paper I would get any kind of paper that's marked 90 gsm

[@inspectortrout99]

Thank you for sharing!

[@opalized]

If you want to learn to draw trees get some basic bonsai books. Learning how to shape a young plant to look like an old weathered tree gives you all the keys points that you need to know. John Yoshio Naka has 2 Bonsai Techniques books that are phenomenal. You don't have to grow any bonsai but understanding the basics in achieving the appearance will translate into far more realistic looking trees in your art.

[@JosueWithContext]

cool thanks for the advice!

[@zsolts5359]

opalized Thank you they are available on amazon for about $200 : (

[@yadvendrasinghgill2601]

This is awesome! But what kind of color pencils do you use?

[@JosueWithContext]

Hi, thanks! I do not use color pencils in this video. I'm using a Tombow graphite pencil. However when i do use color pencils I use prism color.

[@oplazergamer]

Thanks, by the way, your art is AWESOME! This video helped me alot.

[@colorful646]

Thank you for your tips. They're very helpful. Could you tell us which pencil (type, thickness) you have been using?

[@JosueWithContext]

Thanks for watching, and sure i've been using Tombow brand pencils, they're a Japanese brand. I usually use 2B, 4B, 6B since they are darker and i'm already used to using Charcoal. Hope that helps :) feel free to ask more questions :D

[@mewmewkissycutie1028]

WHY IS THE FIRST SONG IS LUMINOUS. THE MADOKA MAGICA OP SONG. WHY DID I EVEN KNOW IT WAS THAT.

[@PaulavVeen]

Very understandable video for an absolute beginner! Thank you!! How long did it actually take you in real life to draw that last tree?

[@JosueWithContext]

Hi thanks! The last tree actually took me around 10-15 min to draw :)
