Welcome to my studio. I'm Lars Robinson. I'm an illustrator. Today we are going to demonstrate
how to draw a tree and actually people might think oh that might be very easy but there
is different things that you have to keep in mind when you draw a tree. It becomes difficult
to overdo drawing a tree with all the little leaves on it but that's where it comes in
handy having charcoal and a piece of pencil led and blocking those shapes. Think of where
the light is hitting it and block in the shapes. How to draw a tree, o'kay you think, then
you come down from there and you have the tree part of it coming down here on one side
and the light is coming from this side. Always think about lighting, think about where the
light is hitting it. So on this one it is supposed to be coming from this side and we
can create that and you think oh the tree trunk is always dark but that is not always
true there is highlights to that too. Then when it comes up to the main part here you
know that it starts breaking apart from the top of it and there is arms coming out of
it. I did this Wizard of Oz theme park and they were coming up with different ideas for
Wizard of Oz and I did the two doors opening up and I had these really wild trees with
it, a lot of movement in it and that is really fun because you can find a lot of movement
in trees. You can have fun with it. You can do all different shapes but then at the end
of it you get just a few of the leaves coming in here. You can overdo it. We can underdo
it. At the end of it there is roots sometimes coming out here and there is roots behind
it which shows perspective too because it goes behind it and then it goes in front of
it. But there you go, there is another tree in the back, simplified and another one and
bushes. See, how to draw a tree. Thank you guys. Hope that helps you guys understand
how to draw a tree and the basic principles behind that. Have a great day.
