Hello.
Today, I will explain how to draw a rough sketch of a tree.
1. Introduction What is a rough sketch?
A rough sketch is a rough sketch used to roughly decide the shape and composition before drawing a picture. By drawing a rough sketch, you can check the overall balance and the placement of the trees, which will allow you to proceed smoothly when you finish. When drawing a background of a tree, it is important to first decide the shape and placement of the tree in a rough sketch.
2. Consider the type and shape of the tree
First, think about what kind of tree you want to draw. There are many different types of trees and their shapes are different. The way you draw a rough sketch will change depending on what kind of tree you want to draw in the background.
3. Next, try drawing the silhouette of the tree
Next, draw the silhouette of the entire tree. Roughly capture the shape of the tree trunk and branches and decide the size and placement.
It is important to decide the position and shape of the trunk before drawing it.
First, draw the trunk of the tree. The trunk is located in the center of the tree, thick at the bottom and thinning towards the top. For the rough sketch, draw the trunk with simple lines, then add fine details later.
Next, decide the size and balance of the tree and the placement of the branches.
First, draw the branches extending from the trunk. For branches, draw them radiating out from the trunk to create a natural look. For coniferous trees, draw the branches pointing upwards, and for broadleaf trees, draw the branches pointing downwards or sideways to bring out the characteristics of each tree.
Draw the tree while keeping in mind its height, width, and overall balance. If you are drawing multiple trees in the background, arrange them with the balance of large and small trees in mind.
4. How to draw leaves
At the rough sketch stage, you don't need to draw each leaf in detail. It is important to think of the group of leaves as a mass and draw the general shape.
Adjust the balance between the leaves and the trunk, then draw the mass of leaves.
Draw the leaves at the top of the tree as a large mass. For broadleaf trees, express them as round masses, and for coniferous trees, express them as pointed triangles or a group of lines. At this stage, do not draw the leaves in detail, but just capture the overall shape.
Next, if there are too many leaves, the trunk and branches will be hidden and the overall shape of the tree will be distorted. Adjust the amount of leaves while considering the balance with the trunk and branches.
Summary of the rough background of the tree
When drawing a rough background of a tree, first capture the rough silhouette and draw the trunk, branches, and leaves simply. At the rough stage, it is important to be conscious of the overall balance rather than fine details. If you draw a solid rough, the final finishing will proceed smoothly.
