Hi everyone! Here are a few different drawings of trees I recently worked on! I hope this tutorial video helps out in some way. It's a bit of a longer video, but drawing trees like this is something I really enjoy and I wanted to share the process with you. Be sure to let me know what you think. And also let me know if you have any suggestions for future drawing videos. Thank you so much for the amazing support! Hope you're having an awesome day. :) -Chris
I used to have a art teacher that would say "practice doesn't make perfect. It makes progress" and I've never found that more true until I tried drawing nature
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I am learning properly at 38, and it almost feels like cheating to have such good tuition. All the love to you and yours
Thank you soo much for sharing your talent and knowledge. I'm 61 and picking it back up after many, many years and if God so wills it, I shall be leaning heavily on your tutorials.
The piano background music is AMAZING. I listen to that meditation app all the time!! Edit: mine still looks like i had seizure holding a gallon of paint and fell on a piece of paper
Helpful. I have tired this. As I am not a good artist like you, I couldn't draw as beautiful as you. But your tutorial really help me to improve my sketch of trees. THANK YOU SO MUCH
Love the video and your drawings are beautiful! My suggestion for future video[s]: Do them in real time, maybe where you explain your technique with a little more detail, for beginners like myself who have very little technique. These time lapse videos are good for seeing your overall process, but it would help to see exactly what you're doing with your hand to achieve different effects. Thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial. Made a drawing of the first tree. Found it tricky shading the trunk but got the hang of it eventually. Also made so many branches that when I added leaves it ended up a formless mess, no breathing room. Managed to fix it by adding an additional darker shade of leaves. Using the darker leaves to create forms in all the densely packed leaves. Happy with the result.
Plzzz do one of theese following things: •An enchanted forest •The 20 style challenge •Realistic vehicle tutorial •a clothes tutorial Or a flower tutorial
Actually, I have been in a performance anxiety since school days as I remember getting high marks in drawing. Now, 40 years later I'm going to practice myself again to get the hang of it and to go through that rotten fear of failure. Drawing with tips is good to start with. Thanks for doing this.
Tysm this helped me a lot with my art homework this tutorial was easy to understand and I really recommend it to someone who wants to something like this
Only took up drawing recently . Did the first tree ,took time but not too bad . But oh the second one . It took ages but got there in the end . I think the problem is we always think of trees with thick branches but these are like boney arthritic fingers . Took a lot of concentration and a heck of a lot of erasing . One thing I have trouble with is keeping it vertical so I draw a faint vertical line and draw the trunk either side of that, might help someone . The leaf idea was great and very effective . Thank you very much for the tutorial , learnt an awful lot .
On the last video of yours Chris, I wanted to know where I was going wrong with drawing trees. Then presto, here you are showing us how. My grandmother was the expert at drawing and painting trees, she was born in 1888 from London. Now I hope I can draw a tree just like her. Thank you so much for the help and huge hugs from Australia.
I know this video is old but I just found it today and I want to say thank you. I was a semi-talented artist as a child but life decided drawing would take the back burner for a while. I'm now in my 40s and I recently picked up drawing again. Thankfully the restart hasn't been too painful. My much older hand gets tired quicker but I haven't lost my basic skill set. Videos like this are so relaxing and informative it keeps the fire burning for me. I've find great joy in drawing (again) and I hope others do too!
@MrManAmong Well said. :) A lot of people can relate to your comment. I also thought this was a really good video. Amazing what a person can do with an ordinary pencil (or better yet, a few actual drawing pencils) and a drawing pad from the dollar store. If nothing else the sketches make for great Birthday/Get Well/Anniversary etc Cards! People love them, b/c it shows a bit of effort, at least more than just buying a generic card. Good luck with your art.
I come back to this tutorial every week. I am trying to learn tree, the tutorial is really good it is me who is not good at drawing. I love all your tutorial very clear and detailed
When ever tutorials hint that there is a presence of light coming from one direction, I always like to think that in my instance, the sun is in north pole and it is night.
I have been trying this since 12 am and now it's 4 in the morning, I can't tell you the amount of times I've wanted to wake somebody up and punch em because I can't draw anything
I have a very heavy hand, imagine my fear when he said a relaxed hand, then I'm working on the branches, I look back up and he's doing the leaves already, I try to copy what he did, and I couldn't find any regular pencils, but lets get serious here. How the hell did you draw so good?
Awesome drawing, very helpful! I have my troubles with natural randomness although it creates the picture magically on the paper all by itself. I don‘t know whether you made a video on drawing rocks and stone and boulders etc. before, but this would also be very appreciated. Thank you and keep on drawing! :)
I liked your relaxed style of teaching. My results were better than before! My problems are with shadows on branches; I still need to work on that and will watch your video several more times. Thanks.
Felt really stuck with drawing trees and then watched just the first 55 seconds of you laying down the roots (pun intended) of that first tree, and I already felt that I knew where to go cheers
OMG amazing trees are my fav spent two year studying them so thanks for this video 😊 Would be cool if you did some fantasy trees too. Also how do you do your black borders?
Thanks for the support! I hope the video helps out. :) Ooo that's an awesome idea - definitely interested in attempting fantasy trees!! For the black borders - I measure them out and pencil them in first, and then I use a Pigma Micron 08 over the top.
You are amazing! Thank you! I spent probably an hour doing just one tree and it doesn't look as good as yours, but it still looks good. Thanks for posting!
4:44 To be quite honest, that was one of the best and most detailed tree sketches I've ever seen. You deserve every view! Especially since you talked us all through on how to draw a tree like it!
great thanks for your tips I had a rough Idea on how to do trees but with your advice and teaching I can draw with much more natural and clean detail for trees to make it look more realistic. Great work love it so much
I always thought/said i couldn't draw so i set out to prove myself wrong. This tutorial was great, as a brand new budding sketcher this tutorial has helped me enormously. My trees don't look anything as good as yours but i am so proud of what you have helped me to sketch. This has developed my confidence and desire to sketch even more. Thanks!
i love the calm music while drawing really fits in with the drawing about nature and trees. Great video as always and it really helps so thanks for showing us.
Dude very cool. Man I doubt seriously if I can do this? I’m a complete beginner but I love love love the idea of me achieving something a ‘Silver Birch’. Hey, thank you friend for helping me finally accomplishing something! My thanks.
Thx for the help but you do realize that your shading is on like God tier to us right and give almost no explanation on your technique and it's difficult for beginners
I need help on drawing.....EVERYTHING!! I know that I am not the best or the worst artist but I really need help. Please help me or someone. And also, YOU ARE VERY TALENTED!! 👍🏼👍🏼❤️❤️
Dude ur the most easy person to watch, like i lost track of time!😂 and not just cuz of the amazing drawings, ur voice, the piano in the background and u seem super nice!!! Im high af btw so idk why im commenting this but this was the best 11:27 minutes of my life
I'm trying to draw better. So I learned that firstly i should practice on one topic and i choose trees. I'm so thankful for this video. Yesterday i draw the first one,its not perfect but at the end of the day it is my OWN art that i did with my own hands. Today I'll try the second one. Thank you for this video👏🏼🤩
I would really recommend getting a sketching pencil set. It helps so much with different highlight lines and deepness of shade. I used 2b-8b (highlights and shading) and 2H very sharp to get my outlines before i go over in a darker pencil.
Thank you so much for your work of art, and showing us all out in the world what you can do, so we can learn altogether in Beautiful things to draw and paint. God bless you, yes and you have a beautiful day to.

that'd be tight but youtube is still in the stoneages.
@@NewWorldCT Yea
I used to have a art teacher that would say "practice doesn't make perfect. It makes progress" and I've never found that more true until I tried drawing nature
True
@karina ha ha
💯
Can you explain it a bit
@@hazzatulislam8054 the saying?
Letha Chris: Stay calm, it will benefit your drawing so much
Me: *sweating and hand shakes*
I can relate to it...
omg same--especially on the branches
I love in my youtube
Relatable!

When the shading is right, pencil drawings have a magic that you don’t see in colored art.
I agree, for instance the illustrative sketches by Brian Froud... obviously they gain a new dimension with paper, but they also kinda lose something
Reuben Stecher Absolutely 😊
If the shading is good enough it'll easily upstage any pencil drawing. But if you suck at coloring like me pencil is your best bet.
They sort of give one a feeling of nostalgia.
Im 40 now i hope i can improve my drawing for coming addtional age :-)
"I'm gonna use my blender"
Me: blends with finger
They called me a mad man
This guy commentating the video he is like hey let me tell you more about how calm i am and about pencils
Tee hee
Do it 😂
I love when they finger it!!!
this confused me so much because i thought you were talking about a blender, like a kitchen item.
i was did well until my pencil touched the paper
Same bro
This particular video got me into drawing! Five years ago and now it’s been recommended to me WOW
after all these years... that's how you do leaves!? I never knew how to draw leaves until now... great tutorial bro! keep up the good work :D
I love drawing in my chanel youtube

Edit: mine still looks like i had seizure holding a gallon of paint and fell on a piece of paper
I love how excited you are about trees.
I agree with you. If I try to copy something it doesn't work well but when I just simply use it for I aspiration it works much better.
I'm your fan... your techniques are inspiring, to say the least. Thank you for all your posts. Kudos from Brazil, man!!!
Thank you so much for the support!! :) I really hope these videos help out.
I loved your idea of how to draw the leaves, thanks!
Helpful. I have tired this. As I am not a good artist like you, I couldn't draw as beautiful as you. But your tutorial really help me to improve my sketch of trees.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
They all look amazing! Great explaination :) I think its great that you show how to make it simple and yet realistic

me too
I just tried this out and just a TIP for the first tree: make sure that your branches are thin enough :)
Mine would've turned out much better
yeah thats what i found trying to draw the tree also

Beautiful. I love your technique to add the "idea" of detail. I often get too hung up on the details, and need to learn this technique.
Plzzz do one of theese following things:
•An enchanted forest
•The 20 style challenge
•Realistic vehicle tutorial
•a clothes tutorial
Or a flower tutorial
Amazing suggestions!! :) Thank you so much.

I spent 10 minutes trying to draw that bottom ground line part.
At 0:04 he sound like stewy Griffin
He sounds like that all the way throughout.
I have been trying this since 12 am and now it's 4 in the morning, I can't tell you the amount of times I've wanted to wake somebody up and punch em because I can't draw anything
Try drawing at different times of the day.
Anyone else think this guys voice is so relaxing?

Instructions were unclear.
My dog is in my toaster now :/

Let's return to step one: place pencil on paper. Step two: place dog in toaster. You're welcome.
Lmao same
Instructions were unclear
I cutted my finger
This has nothing to do with drawing trees

great work bro this made me great at drawing trees
Great stuff I love shade work from since childhood it's being a while since I picked up my pencils and sketchpad think i will after watching.
Even when I followed your steps my tree still looked bad :(
sameee. but i believe with practice anything is possible
try again
My first oak looked terrible, but then I focused on making sure I had really light areas bordering the dark areas. It helped a lot.
I advice you to try to draw another shape of tree .That's helpful
Think positive. With practice you can do it!
Its Friday night and I'm here learning to draw trees.
i love the calm music while drawing really fits in with the drawing about nature and trees. Great video as always and it really helps so thanks for showing us.
Thank you so much for the support, Daniela. :)

Dude very cool. Man I doubt seriously if I can do this? I’m a complete beginner but I love love love the idea of me achieving something a ‘Silver Birch’. Hey, thank you friend for helping me finally accomplishing something! My thanks.
Him: You can use any type of pencil or paper.
Me: Ok sounds simple enough 10 minutes later. I need those pencils that he has. -_-
Thx for the help but you do realize that your shading is on like God tier to us right and give almost no explanation on your technique and it's difficult for beginners

Thank you so much!! That means a lot. :)
Can you do widowmaker from overwatch or makoa from paladins?
I'm trying to draw better. So I learned that firstly i should practice on one topic and i choose trees. I'm so thankful for this video. Yesterday i draw the first one,its not perfect but at the end of the day it is my OWN art that i did with my own hands. Today I'll try the second one. Thank you for this video👏🏼🤩
Oh and i should buy some pencil,i used a weird ass pencil for everything lol
You inspire me! I’m going to take pictures of different trees first. I only have 2b pencil that’s what I’m going to work with.
I would really recommend getting a sketching pencil set. It helps so much with different highlight lines and deepness of shade. I used 2b-8b (highlights and shading) and 2H very sharp to get my outlines before i go over in a darker pencil.
When drawing trees you break the rule of consistent smooth lines.😂 I like it.👍
We had to do this in art class and it was so difficult
You deserves more subscriber cause theybway you teaching are good and clear
Great job bro people don't give you enough credit
You have such relaxed easy to follow manner in your instructions’ they really flow well.
thanks for making these.
Wow! you have some good techniques that helped me a lot. thanks
one day draw Widowmaker from Overwatch :) just an idea
Thanks for the suggestion!! :) I'd love to work on more Overwatch fan art soon.
you're welcome :) your art is amazing
Kyubey Rei yusss widowmaker
