Why Is Drawing Trees So Hard?

[@WiseWizard-l5l]

the fact you told in the last , the bonus ....using smaller detailing of leaves when they are further ...that made a reality hit

[@stephentraversart]

Happy to help. 😀

[@minipainter2]

I had to laugh that I was thinking exactly the way you described. I’ve been insisting the trees I choose to draw be the easy ones I know are out there. Thanks!!

[@stephentraversart]

Being able to laugh at ourselves is such an advantage in life I think Linda, and to have a sense of humour regarding our drawing doubly so. Clearly you will go far and have fun all the way. Glad I could help. 😀

[@troygoggans5495]

I have been trying to draw a biological looking tree for 2 months and just today the tree I drew actual showed progress forward. This tree was from my mind and not looking at one you had done as a crutch.

So good to hear Troy. Keep going. 👏

Stephen, you helped me a lot on my drawing journey. Thank you so much! 🙏

[@stephentraversart]

Wonderful to hear Juniper. Thanks 😀

So insightful and helpful, as usual. Thank you❤

Thanks Heather. Have you seen my drawing trees playlist?😀

[@heatherh3457]

@@stephentraversart I am sure I have seen them individually but I am planning to go through them sequentially and 'study' trees with your guidance. 👌

amazing presentation and explanation of this confusing topic. thank you!

[@stephentraversart]

Thanks for the encouragement. Much appreciated 😀

Hello. What kind of pens do you usually use? Greetings from Spain.

[@stephentraversart]

Hi Yasmina. I usually use Copic Multiliners for line work, a range of 0.5, 0.3, 0.2, or 0.1 mm.

@@stephentraversart Thank you 🙂👍🏻

[@DeniBlaze-k2s]

i actually had to pause when I heard you explain how drawing a face can turn out disturbingly wrong. I was laughing so hard I couldn't pay attention to what you were saying. The reason i found this so funny is because I have been there done that! Thanks for the healthy laugh fit LOL

How to draw AND comedy - what a great channel!😆

[@2manameturfilms13]

Do you have any good drills that would help my brain unlearn the idea of using solid lines to define borders/boundaries? I doodled a lot when I was younger doing mostly hard edged objects and always found soft/abstract things like trees, people, etc very difficult. I have been trying my hand at the daily upload videos and find trees unnecessarily difficult in terms of shading.

[@stephentraversart]

Trees are an excellent subject for this. Try drawing different tupiof trees, and different sizes on the paper as well. 😀

[@13e09]

in digital art there is custom brushes but when it comes to draw on paper mines doesnt look good 💀

[@stephentraversart]

I don’t have digital drawing experience Ryusei, but it seems that tablet and paper are such different materials many of the skill they need are quite different to each other. Maybe work with one for a time, and then the other. Try not to change back and forth too quickly or often. Until you feel comfortable with both. All the best. 😀

[@13e09]

@@stephentraversart You should try digital and Thanks 👏🏻

[@AngelfromGenX]

The greatest advantage to digital art is one I go crazy on - you're not wasting expensive supplies lol. I love both, but digital took some getting used to after 30 years of paint and pencils.

[@akeelyaqub2538]

I draw trees digitally the same way i do traditional. Pen brushes. Texture brushes dont help you actually learn how to draw trees. The moto is if you cant draw someone manually then you shouldnt use texture brushes to do it. Learn the subject first then feel free to use texture brushes after, dont rely on them.

[@pixeleqstilton8534]

Hello! I stumbled on your channel not so long ago and You inspired me to try drawing with a pen instead of a pencil! Could you recommend any good and cheap (just to get my feet wet) pens? (Im guessing that youre using an Ink pen) Thank you in advance!

[@oldriskavodova3536]

WoW! Thank You So Much but Can You Please Do A Video For: How To Draw Trees?

[@stephentraversart]

I have a playlist on drawing trees if you’d like more on different types of trees and branches etc. 😀

[@dariusus9870]

It's not. They're the easiest thing to draw and look good, even for amateurs

[@stephentraversart]

I agree, but I think in all the comments for the 25 or so videos on drawing trees you are the first person not to agree with the thumbnail title. One of my favourite, enjoyable subjects of all. 😀

[@dariusus9870]

@@stephentraversart That's because trees allow happy accidents just like distant mountains, rock formations, distant groups of people etc where you can just suggest something and it magically comes together. Human faces, anatomy or detailed architecture are hard. I'm an architect and i always rushed to draw buildings so I can draw the natural environment. You're one of the few here on youtube who actually draws beautiful trees imho.

[@joefernandes4256]

Honestly, I like your hairline. Kinda like Steven Gerrard.

[@stephentraversart]

Haha. At my age I’m glad just to have hair! 🤣🤣🤣
