You can draw a Christmas tree in different ways. Although it is “structured” in the same way as other trees (trunk, branches extending from it), this “skeleton” is disguised with fluffy spruce paws. Therefore, when drawing a Christmas tree with children in general, it is convenient to take a triangle as a basis. By the way, this triangular (or rather, cone-shaped) shape of spruce trees has a deep ecological meaning. Spruce grows in places with harsh climates, with snowy winters. This crown shape does not allow snow to large quantities accumulate on tree branches. He simply rolls off the tree as if from a mountain. And this helps the branches to withstand and not break from excessive snow weight. People have spotted this “trick” of nature and are building houses with a gable roof so that snow does not accumulate there either.
Paint Christmas tree Gouache paints are very convenient with children. First, we paint the pine needles with green paint, and when the gouache dries a little, we draw balls and beads. These round decorations are very easy to paint with small children, not with a brush, but with cotton swabs. Dip cotton swab into the paint and press it onto the paper. You will get a fairly regular round print. Then you can add highlights to the dried balls using white paint.
We offer seven options for drawing a Christmas tree with children of different ages. They are arranged according to the complexity of the work.
Triangle Christmas tree - step-by-step drawing with children from 4 years old.
This is the simplest Christmas tree. It's not even based on a triangle - it's just a triangle. Add decorations-balls - and you have a wonderful New Year's picture!
Triangle Christmas tree - a step-by-step drawing scheme for children from 4 years old.
Simple with children over 5 years old.
This Christmas tree is a little more complicated. It already has characteristic serrated branches. Such a Christmas tree can be decorated with balls or simply painted with green paint and “planted” in the forest.

Christmas tree based on a triangle - step-by-step drawing
with children over 6 years old.
This tree has more branches. You need to draw them like a fence, right away by hand. The bottom of the tree is also openwork. It already looks more like a real tree. It makes sense to draw decorations in advance only if you are going to color the tree with felt-tip pens or colored pencils. If you work with paints, you can paint the balls and garlands later, without preliminary drawing.

Christmas tree based on a triangle - step-by-step drawing
with children over 7 years old.
In this version, the herringbone pattern is replaced by broken and wavy lines. And the Christmas tree looks less sketchy, even gaining some volume. Although its basis is still the same flat triangle. The feeling of volume is achieved by marking not only the side branches, but also the branches in the middle of the tree. And also not a straightforward, but a capricious and whimsical line of the garland.

Volumetric Christmas tree - step-by-step drawing with children from 8 years old.
When drawing this Christmas tree, we use a conditional skeleton-trunk. Her main feature The point is that here we draw branches that are facing us. They should be short, distorted by perspective. After the drawing is done in pencil, you can offer different options design and decoration of the Christmas tree. Figure 4A - summer tree in the forest. Figure 4B – winter tree covered with snow. Very suitable for this type of work gouache paints. After finishing the green paint, take whitewash and paint snow waves on the branches. Another idea is to try making the Christmas tree blue instead of green. Figure 4B – New Year tree, decorated with beads and balls.

Realistic Christmas tree - step-by-step drawing with children from 9 years old.
This is, of course, a very young Christmas tree. This type of work is best done with paints. The Christmas tree will look like a real living tree. Dressing her in a New Year's outfit is unlikely to happen.

Christmas tree based on a pyramid - step-by-step drawing with children from 12 years old.
It is interesting to do this work with pastel, charcoal or sanguine. In two recent cases the picture will be monochrome. The work is quite complicated and even for children 12 years old without artistic training, it is better to choose another option for drawing a Christmas tree.

New Year tree with gifts
Another video lesson on drawing a Christmas tree with a pencil step by step, as well as an idea on how to color a Christmas tree with colored pencils:
The image below shows a diagram of how to draw a Christmas tree for primary and secondary children school age. The drawing looks simple, but requires care; the straighter the needles are, the more beautiful the drawing will be.
From the vertical main line, which represents a tree pillar, draw slightly curved lines.
We draw small ones at the top, longer ones towards the middle and long ones at the bottom.
We draw small needles on each branch. You can add balls and stars on the branches, and you can decorate the bottom with beads.
The video shows another option on how to draw a Christmas tree.
There are many options for how to draw a Christmas tree with a pencil step by step. You can start with the frame, the skeleton of the tree, and then draw in the branches, which become wider and more magnificent towards the base.
You can start with what the tree looks like externally - a triangle, gradually adding branches, making the tree more and more magnificent, and then New Year's garlands, toys, gifts under the tree, as it seems.
First way. Starting with the skeleton and then drawing the Christmas tree:
Second way.
First imagine a triangle that will become a Christmas tree.
Then we draw the teeth on the sides and bottom of the tree.
Let's outline it more clearly using a pencil (marker, pen).
Then decorations appear on the tree. First we draw only the outlines. We also draw gifts under the tree arbitrarily as much as you like, in any way, in any shape and quantity as you like
We outline more clearly the contours of decorations and gifts using a pencil (marker, pen).
Coloring the Christmas tree green, drawing needles in one direction. Let there be a small unpainted space under the toys on the Christmas tree; we also depict lighting.
Add a little bit of the whole tree dark green. This helps achieve volume. Let the white space under the toys on the Christmas tree be clearer. The toys on the Christmas tree are decorated with different colors.
Gifts in different colors.
The fluffy forest guest, who delights us with her appearance every year in our homes, seems easy to draw if you have detailed step-by-step sketches. First, we determine the size of the tree on a piece of paper. Then how lush it will be, how many levels, for this we draw parallel lines along the trunk on both sides. To make it easier, you can imagine the tree in the form of a triangle, just ignore the very top of the tree, leave it for the star:
I think I should draw a New Year's tree following the one below. step by step diagram, on your own or with your child it will be quite easy.
So let's get started:
Step 1:
Step 2:
Step 3:
Step 4:
The result is a New Year's tray like this. Now you can color it, for example like this:
New Year is the most favorite holiday of the majority. And what would a holiday be without Father Frost, Snow Maiden and, of course, a Christmas tree.
Drawing a mandatory attribute of the New Year holiday - a New Year tree - is not so difficult. The main thing is to follow the tips in the pictures below.
For example, as an option
Well, the third version of the New Year tree.
Well, a more complicated option:
Drawing a Christmas tree is not difficult. IN fine arts many objects are depicted by initial schematic drawing. For a Christmas tree, a simple geometric triangle shape is suitable. As you know, the branches of a Christmas tree look down; at the top they are shorter, at the base they are much longer, which gives the tree a triangular shape.
Taking this as a basis, we draw our New Year tree:
All that remains is to add decorations (balls, cones, lanterns, bows, etc.) and our Christmas tree is ready. Even a child can handle this drawing:
You can try to draw the Christmas tree in a different way. Namely, to depict the trunk and branches of a tree diverging in different directions:
If you add to such a Christmas tree New Year's toys, you will get a real holiday beauty.
The most popular design in the winter season is the New Year tree. It’s a pleasure to draw her, because during the drawing process your imagination never comes into play. The Christmas tree can be drawn with paints, as well as with a pencil. The most important thing is to find a drawing for inspiration.
The little ones can use this scheme:
More experienced people can try to draw these versions of Christmas trees with a pencil. The main thing here is to draw the frame of the tree, the base (trunk and branches), and then draw the needles, Christmas decorations, gifts under the Christmas tree.
Draw New Year's Eve in stages It won't be difficult if you follow the instructions below. First we draw a large triangle, this will be the basis of the tree itself, and a square is the lower part of the tree trunk. Next, we draw three levels of branches, an asterisk at the very top of the tray and begin to gradually draw toys. After this, we decorate the tray and the drawing is ready.
On this site you can not only see in pictures how to draw a Christmas tree step by step, but even watch several videos where everything is explained in a very accessible form, after which even a child will be able to draw a holiday tree on their own.

How to simply draw a Christmas tree for kids
This wonderful lesson will prepare us for the holiday and tell us how to draw a Christmas tree simply for children.
For some people, depicting objects on paper is a problem. If a person does not know how to draw a Christmas tree, this article will be of help. Detailed master classes will help solve this problem.
Christmas tree made of geometric shapes
For beginning artists, there are many options for how to draw a Christmas tree. Most often, geometric shapes are used in symbolic drawings.
Several partially overlapping triangles arranged in a pyramid with a small brown rectangle at the bottom (trunk) perfectly symbolize the Christmas tree.
Since you can draw a Christmas tree in a more simplified version, you should consider using one triangle in the image. The corners can also be smoothed or sharpened and elongated.
There is another option for how to draw a Christmas tree symbolically. For such an image, geometric shapes are not used. It is enough to draw branches using straight segments that are directed either downward at an angle or upward.
Symbolic Christmas tree for postcards, making interior items and decorating clothes
Here the designer simply needs a way to depict a tree using geometric shapes. You can even smooth out the corners of the tree’s outline or, conversely, sharpen it and slightly stretch it out and lift it from above. After all, any tree in early period growing branches stretch towards the sun.
The contours of such a Christmas tree can be used as appliques for decorating clothes and making rugs, for developing patterns for making jacquard patterns on knitted items, for sewing sofa cushions and creative Christmas trees from pillows, making patterns for wallpaper and in many other interesting options.
Master class for kids
Usually children easily cope with the task of depicting a Christmas tree. But if difficulty still exists, you can also teach drawing to children using this master class. It gives a clear idea of how to draw a Christmas tree with a pencil step by step.
- First, several triangles are drawn so that each one located above is slightly smaller than the previous one. Usually three figures are enough.
- For very tiny artists, the process of learning to draw the outline of a Christmas tree can be completed at this point and they can begin painting the object. If adults show how to draw a Christmas tree step by step for older children, for example, 3-4 year olds, then the task can be made more difficult. Let the child do sides triangles concave inside the figure, and the base curved out.
- The eraser removes auxiliary lines.
- A rectangle is drawn below, which represents a tree trunk.
- Next comes the application of color to the object. You can only use one shade of green and brown for the trunk. But you can make each top triangle lighter than the previous one.
- If desired, the tree can be decorated with toys and beads. Then the drawing will be in the New Year's version.
Naturalistic image of a spruce
To draw serious pictures with a pencil - for example, landscapes - you need to know how to draw a Christmas tree step by step. The interesting thing is that they begin to depict the object in the same way as in children's master class, from the auxiliary triangle. Then, inside the main contour sketch, “rows” of branches are made - these are pyramidally arranged smaller triangles that partially overlap each other.
The bases of the triangles should be made “torn” and uneven. Yes, and the sides need to be transformed. Let them become not continuous straight lines, but consisting of interrupted segments that have a slightly different angle of inclination. By applying shading to the spruce in this way, the artist creates the effect of tree thorns.
Particular work should be done on the barrel. First it is drawn in the form of a rectangle. Then the lower part is slightly expanded, turning it into a trapezoid. The lower base of the trapezoid is made “torn”.
Now you need to apply the final shading so that in the middle the tree is lighter than at the edges. Some branches may “break out” from the main contour - these are young branches that have not yet sagged under the weight of their weight, reaching towards the sun. A sharp branch-top sticks out from above.
Winter landscape
Most often, coniferous trees attract artists in winter. After all, everything around in the forest is bare, and only the evergreens stand, as if cold and snow do not exist for them. Such landscapes look beautiful both in black and white and in color.
How to draw a Christmas tree with a pencil step by step was described in detail in the previous master class. Having mastered this algorithm, the artist can depict a winter landscape where snow caps and collars lie on the branches of fir trees. Making tree “robes” is quite simple. You just need to make an outline of a snowdrift on a ready-made spruce, and then remove all excess with an eraser.
Sometimes another option is used to depict fir trees. It is suitable for drawing large perennial trees. Spruce trees are not drawn with solid shading, but are made more “transparent” by drawing each branch or group of branches separately.
There is a little less than a month left until the New Year, we are preparing gifts and drawing cards. What about you? If yes, then two Christmas trees are waiting for you in this lesson. Lovers of handicrafts feel especially inspired before the holidays, because their creative impulses can be channeled into making gifts and cards. Handmade cards, even the simplest ones, evoke very warm feelings among loved ones. And how grandmothers admire the creations of their grandchildren!
I won’t tell you how to make the card itself, but I will show you how to draw a Christmas tree for a card. More precisely, even 2 New Year trees. They are both quite simple, they can be drawn by both adults and children.
In the first case, the design of the Christmas tree is simpler and more understandable for children, and the decorations can be more complicated. You can decorate the Christmas trees in the newfangled doodling style, as I did, or in your own way.
Herringbone silver
It is silver because I drew on the card with silver markers and an outline. But more on that later.
I didn't use a pencil for drawing. Look at the diagram to understand how to draw a Christmas tree step by step. Before drawing on a postcard, you can practice drawing with a pencil or marker. In my case, the blue training herringbone was made with a regular thin marker.
On the diagram, each new step marked in red.
For four tiers, you need to mark 5 dividing points vertically in the middle of the future Christmas tree. Don't forget to leave the top and bottom free space. If you plan to draw a high tip on the top of the head, then leave more space.
Imagine how the lines expand from the top point down, forming a triangle. By the way, if it is more convenient for you to make a preliminary border for the Christmas tree, then mark the triangle with a pencil. We draw the upper tier, but not as a triangle, but as a bell, slightly bending the corners of the base upward and lowering the lower border in the center in an arc.
We draw the remaining tiers like skirts, also raising the corners and lowering the lower border in an arc. All that remains is to draw the tip and the leg (optional).
So our form is ready, which can now be filled with different patterns. If desired, the Christmas tree can be continued to be “extended” downwards in tiers.
My Christmas trees are filled with different doodles - circles, curls, flowers, in free form, asymmetrically. And around it I drew curls and snowballs to make it more elegant.
How to draw a Christmas tree in simple version you know now.
Children also enjoy drawing such a Christmas tree. They can be asked to draw a Christmas tree with colored markers or pencils. Of course, in this case you need to draw all the “skirts” with a simple pencil, and only then start coloring. This section contains ready-made coloring pages of Christmas trees for children. of different ages, as well as coloring templates for Christmas trees in the doodling style.
Postcard with a silver Christmas tree in doodle art style
Now I'll tell you about the postcard. I took dark thick paper with a beautiful texture from the album. I marked the size of the card and cut it out. Dark paper is a little fussy. Therefore, before drawing, I washed and dried my hands, so as not to leave fingerprints, and placed a sheet of paper under my hand. I marked the points with a pencil and then with a white marker. I did not draw the borders of the Christmas tree, because erasing the pencil with an eraser leaves marks on the paper that spoil the whole look.
Next, I drew branches with a white marker (here from ZIG). I filled them with silver patterns made with a gel pen. And I added a few more special effects, which, unfortunately, are not very visible in the photo: I decorated some details with finely dispersed holographic sparkles, and also added dots and snowflakes with a silver volumetric outline.
The card turned out stylish and elegant. Inside, I decorated the corner with a pattern in the same style using a silver gel pen. I pasted a square of thick light paper - this is a place to write congratulations.
And now the promised second lesson - how to draw a Christmas tree step by step, but in a different version.
Christmas tree green
This Christmas tree may seem a little more complicated, so I also advise you to first sketch out the sketch with a pencil in a smaller version several times, so that you can easily draw it on a postcard. After all, as you understand, it is better to make as few erasures and markings as possible on a postcard, then the paper does not deteriorate and the drawing looks neater. But in this version it is more difficult to do without a pencil. I laid the outlines on the pencil markings with a marker, and before painting the Christmas tree, I erased the visible parts of the pencil sketch.
Draw a cone with a pencil. Do you like to use a ruler? Please, you can use a ruler - corner.
We draw stripes with a pencil.
Before drawing the Christmas tree itself, you can already draw a tip with a marker, it will cover the very top of the head.
Now we draw the outlines of the tiers of the Christmas tree with a marker, and erase the pencil sketch where it is visible.
If you draw with a gel pen, let it dry before you erase the pencil.
We draw the lowest tier of branches to give the Christmas tree fluffiness
We draw the outlines of Christmas tree decorations, for example, with colored markers or pencils.
We fill the space between the toys with green, also with felt-tip pens, markers or pencils.
We don't color the ribbons, it's decorative effect. How to draw a New Year tree so that it is festive and elegant?
Add some shine! Paint on the highlights on the balls. This is how our Christmas tree turned out.
We took yellow single-sided cardboard on which we drew Christmas trees, some contours were outlined with silver and gold gel pens, so the decorations play beautifully in the light. Especially beautiful flickering under artificial light. You can also use glitter gels to children's creativity.
Next, we cut out a rectangle with a Christmas tree and pasted it onto a card made of decorative paper. By the way, you can draw a Christmas tree on self-adhesive paper, so that you can also glue it onto a blank for a postcard.
Christmas tree templates
Do you want to make a postcard with your own hands for the New Year, but can’t think of anything? Don't despair. Keep multiple templates Christmas tree.
Christmas tree pictures are large, just open them in a new tab
They can be used as in the example above - drawn on dark paper with an acrylic marker or transferred to film and outlined stained glass paint. In any case, it will turn out beautiful and stylish.
