How To Draw A Cherry Blossom Spring Tree

How to Draw a Cherry Blossom Tree

Spring is a wonderful time when cherry blossom trees bloom with pretty pink flowers. Let’s learn how to draw a cherry blossom tree together! Grab your drawing tools, and let’s have some fun!

Materials Needed

Before we start, make sure you have these materials:

• Paper
• Markers or colored pencils
• An eraser (optional)

Step 1: Draw the Trunk

Let’s begin by drawing the trunk of the tree:

1. Draw a wiggly line going up from the bottom of the page. This is the trunk.
2. Make the trunk wider at the bottom and keep the line wobbly as you go up.
3. Draw another wiggly line on the other side to complete the trunk.

Step 2: Add Branches

Now, let’s add some branches to our tree:

1. Draw a branch sticking out to one side.
2. Add another branch on the opposite side.
3. Create a central branch going up and a little to the side.
4. Connect the left side of the central branch with a wiggly line, letting it branch off again.
5. Do the same on the right side, adding more branches if you like.

Step 3: Detail the Branches

Let’s make the branches look more interesting:

1. Draw small “V” shapes along the branches to show tiny twigs.
2. Add checkmark-like shapes to give the branches texture.

Step 4: Create the Blossoms

Time to add the cherry blossoms:

1. Draw small wave lines or “U” shapes along the branches. Make them different sizes for a natural look.
2. Connect some of these shapes to form clusters of blossoms.

Step 5: Outline the Tree Shape

Let’s give our tree its overall shape:

1. Start from the top of the branches and draw a bumpy outline like the letter “C.”
2. Make some bumps bigger and some smaller to make the tree look fluffy.
3. Make sure the outline overlaps with the branches to add depth.

Step 6: Draw the Ground

Let’s add some ground under the tree:

1. Draw a zigzag line at the bottom of the trunk to show grass.
2. Extend this line outward on both sides, adding more zigzags for texture.

Step 7: Add Falling Blossoms

Let’s show some blossoms falling from the tree:

1. Draw small oval shapes around the base of the tree to look like petals or pebbles falling.

Step 8: Color Your Cherry Blossom Tree

Now, let’s bring your drawing to life with colors:

1. Use light pink and dark pink markers to color the blossoms. Use dark pink for shading to add texture.
2. Color the trunk with brown and dark brown to give it a rough look.

Conclusion

Great job! You’ve drawn a beautiful cherry blossom tree. We hope you had fun creating your artwork and that it reminds you of the beauty of spring. Happy drawing!
