How to draw an oak tree with a pencil step by step

Lesson in drawing trees, how to draw an oak tree with a pencil step by step. Oak is a tree that we know from acorns, which are very fond of wild pigs. There are whole oak forests, there are singly growing ones. Now we will draw an old oak that grows by itself.

Draw the base of the tree - the trunk, then draw its main branches.

Next we make a sketch of where the foliage will be, because. the oak is old, so it is not everywhere and there are not living branches on the tree.

Now we use the curl method (lesson here, who is not familiar with this type of hatching) fill the tree with foliage.

We darken the branches that are in the shade and draw new ones. The trunk of the tree is slightly darker.

We take a softer pencil and increase the saturation of the foliage, adding swirls in some areas that should be dark (what dark places should be, you look at the original, it also depends on the lighting), show the shadow of the leaves on the oak trunk.

We add, if necessary, more particles of branches in the foliage, along the edges of these deciduous arrays we draw more leaves with curls so that it looks like fluffy shreds. Look at the original, you will understand what I mean, do not know how to explain in words. We finish the grass, steppe and clouds, if you want, and the oak drawing is ready.
