Every 4 seconds, an area of forest equal to a standard football field is cut down around the world. This is statistics. The fastest rate of deforestation in Southeast Asia. The Chinese are multiplying, but they have nowhere to live. So what should I do? We need drawing paper! I want to tell you how to draw a forest with a pencil. This won't restore our fauna, but it's worth a try.
Forest Facts:
- Aokihara Forest, or Suicide Forest. The strange place deservedly received its name. It itself is so thick that light practically does not penetrate there, and compasses stop working. For some reason, this particular place in Japan has become a favorite place for those wishing to commit suicide (apparently, some do not have the courage to commit hara-kiri).
- In the Kaliningrad region there is a forest that local residents called Dancing, or drunk. No, alcoholics and drug addicts do not gather there. The fact is that pine trees grow on 1 square kilometer, which, for a reason unknown to science, twisted their trunks strangely. Some were completely wrapped in knots. As if they were tormented by stomach pain.
- It is generally accepted that tropical forests are full of various sounds and noises. I will disappoint you - during the day the jungle is quieter than a sleeping child. The life of all animals there begins at night, and even then they behave very carefully and quietly.
Let's try to draw.
How to draw a forest with a pencil step by step
Step one. Let's start with a simple thing: draw a horizon line, and draw a path with two vertical lines.
Step two. On the sides of the invented path we draw tree trunks, large and small.
Step three. Let's draw the trunks higher and draw their bottoms with a pencil. We’ll also add some grass at the base of the trunks.
Sha is the fourth. Finally, let’s draw the tops with branches and add shadows.
Step five.
Taiga is a very beautiful and stunning place. It is difficult to convey its beauty, but in this article we will try to do this and demonstrate how to draw a taiga forest. A total of four master classes will be shown with different levels difficulties. Some examples are suitable for experienced artists, while others are suitable for children.
Forest with river
This area is home to many rivers and a large number of animals. In this paragraph we will figure out how to draw a taiga forest with a river and deer. Be sure to sharpen your pencils, otherwise the drawing will turn out sloppy. After that you can start drawing!
We are working on the background of the picture. To do this, the lower part should turn light blue; a river will flow in this place. Then green is the shore, light blue is the background, and green again is the foliage.
On the left side we draw trunks and a bush.
Now we have come to the most interesting stage. Let's draw deer and trunks in the background. The farther the tree is from us, the lighter it will be. Thanks to this, we create the effect of space, which is necessary in drawing forests.
We draw on the sheet and the drawing is complete.
Be sure to watch the video that demonstrates the drawing process of this example. After seeing how the artist works on this drawing, you will immediately find answers to many questions that you might have.
Mixed forest
IN in this example we'll look at how to draw mixed forest taiga In such a forest, both coniferous and deciduous trees grow at the same time, and this is exactly what we will reflect in our example.
This paragraph will consist of only two stages. The drawing is quite simple, so we see no point in describing in detail how to draw this or that element. If you want to study the drawing process in detail, you can watch the video.
At the first stage we make a sketch. In the distance there will be a horizon, to which there is a long path. And along the edges we will depict coniferous and deciduous trees.
Now we take colored pencils and color our sketch. There is nothing complicated here either and you will definitely get a beautiful drawing of the taiga forest!
Simple example
This is a great drawing example that will tell you how to draw mixed and broadleaf forest taiga There are no complicated or small elements, so this drawing technique can be suitable for children of any age.
All that will be shown in the picture is a forest, namely a large number of different trees. At the first stage, we will draw a Christmas tree on the left side, and a little to the right three more trees of different sizes.
On the right we will draw a couple more Christmas trees, and in the lower part we will draw small bushes.
We decided to make our drawing unusual and paint it in a variety of colors. The taiga forest has become very bright and diverse. If you don’t like this option, then you can choose different shades of green and color your drawing in them.
Complex example
I would like to devote the final paragraph to realistic and complex drawing techniques. This time we will figure out how to draw a taiga forest with a pencil, it will be thick and have a large number of small elements that will definitely need to be drawn!
Using a regular pencil we draw a sketch of our forest. Here we are simply putting some details in their places. IN in this case Paths, mountains and trees are placed in places. Everything is in your hands and you can add some elements of your own, for example, depict a bear or walking tourists in the middle of the path.
Colored pencils come into play. Let's make the ground light green and paint the trunks brown. Also, let's paint on the leaf. Please note that it is not a solid color; it is darker in some places and lighter in others.
We color the mountains and paint on the grass in the foreground. Watch your pencils. In order for the drawing to be beautiful and neat, it must always be sharpened!
Coloring the path in Brown color, and also work on detailing background. It will depict trees, but since they are very far away and hard to see, you can simply do vertical shading.
We are finalizing the small details and the work on the taiga forest drawing is complete!

Save the forest - use paper on both sides (just not in the toilet). But it's better to plant new plants. I look forward to your wishes and ideas on this page.
Hello, dear friends!
I am sure that almost all of you are interested in the topic of creating landscapes. Landscapes can be very different, showing beautiful and interesting views of different parts of our planet, in many of them you come into contact with the task of depicting trees. How to draw a tree that is alive, beautiful and natural is the topic of our lesson today.
Trees are not difficult to draw, but sometimes they come out too drawn or flat.
Basic mistakes
The main mistakes in drawing trees are:
Lack of volume
The lack of volume in a drawing (in color or black and white) is achieved by using paints of different tones and intensity. Even on a cloudy day, some part of the crown and trunk will be more shaded, and some less. The colors are always darker in the thick of the foliage. Think of a tree as a ball (crown) and a cylinder (trunk) to understand how shadows form on this complex shape.
The forest can be very different. For example, it could be a small forest in which it is difficult to get lost, or it could be a deep thicket. To better understand how to draw a forest, it is recommended to carefully examine the work greatest painters on this topic. For example, the paintings of Shishkin are very interesting, who was unusually good at conveying the atmosphere of a mysterious and enchanting forest in his wonderful works.
You can also draw a forest with a pencil from life. Such a walk, during which you can make a series of sketches from nature, will also be very beneficial for your health. After all, it’s no secret that the air in the forest is particularly clean and fresh. If it is impossible to go to some forest, then you can learn how to draw a forest using beautiful photos.
Before you draw the forest step by step, you must make sure that all the accessories needed for this, which are listed just below, are nearby. So, to draw a forest you need:
1). Multi-colored pencils;
2). Eraser;
3). Liner;
4). Paper;
5). Pencil.
Now you can learn how to draw a forest with a pencil step by step, and then color it:
1. First draw the horizon line;
2. Draw the outlines of the tree trunks that are located in the foreground;
3. The drawing will look more interesting if the trees are different. Therefore, draw the first tree, making it a Christmas tree;
4. Draw a second tree, which half hides the spruce. Let it be a birch;
5. Now draw more clearly the third tree, which is the largest. Let it be an oak tree;
6. In the background, draw the trunks of other trees, without detailing them too much;
7. Draw blades of grass and mushrooms in the foreground;
8. Outline the sketch with a liner;
9. Use an eraser to erase the preliminary pencil drawing;
10. Paint the trunks of those trees that are not birches with different shades of brown. Paint the cones on the spruce with a light brown tone;
11. Shade the birch trunks with light gray and gray pencils;
12. Color the outlines of the forest in the distance with blue-green. Paint the grass with light green and deep green shades;
13. Paint the mushroom caps with different colors;
14. Shade the sky with a blue tone. Color the foliage of the trees in various shades of green.
Now you understand how to draw a forest with a pencil, and then make this picture in color. Of course, the forest will look most impressive if it is painted with paints.
