  1. 1

    Start by drawing a line for the floor.

  2. 2

    Draw two curves covering the floor line and six more behind it, as you can see they always go from thin to thick, top to bottom.

  3. 3

    Draw a few more behind the first row of trees.

  4. 4

    Draw a third row on the back.

  5. 5

    Now is the perfect time to add details, like bushes and mushrooms.

  6. 6

    To make these rows of trees look real keep in mind that the farther they are the dimmer the color on them will look, use a pallid yellow and green to make the background look gloomy.

  1. 1

    Draw the ground. If you want a grassy forest, draw some spikes that vary in size and direction.

  2. 2

    Draw some trees. If the tree is closer, make it larger. If it is farther away, make it smaller and behind the ones that are closer, to add perspective to your drawing.

  3. 3

    Add some details that bring the forest to life. For plants, you could add some mushrooms, bark textures, bushes and small plants. For animals, add insects, mammals, maybe even an owl or two. If you'd like to add people, you could include children collecting acorns or picking berries.

  4. 4

    Add color. Remember that the trees behind the ones in front are in the shadows and gradually make it a darker color. Color shadows, spots that you want to be bright, and other little features.

  • Question

    How do I draw a rainforest scene?

    Community Answer

    You could draw the scene above, but then use your imagination to add things like raindrops, wild animals and more plants on the floor.

  • Question

    Is it compulsory to draw bushes?

    Community Answer

    It depends. In an alpine setting or a savanna, stubby bushes and grass are everything. But if you don't want to, you don't have to. Not all forests have large amounts of bushes, and if you don't want bushes, don't add them. However, I find bushes to be very useful at covering hard to draw roots and they do look nice.

  • Question

    What crayons should I use for an inhabited forest?

    Community Answer

    Just use your everyday crayons. If you want, you can use oil pastels as well.

  • Question

    It is good to draw without colors?

    Community Answer

    Totally! Sometimes it's best just to have a cool sketch, it helps so you can see more details.

  • Question

    Is it important to make the forest a natural color, or can I do it my own way?

    Community Answer

    You can make your forest in whatever colors you want; get creative with it!

  • Question

    What if I can't do all the little details?

    Community Answer

    Try your best. If you need some help with bark, I suggest making some lines up and down, then shade darker under the leaves and lighter when it comes to the ground, creating a shadow. Keep practicing and your drawing will improve.

  • Question

    I need to draw a border of trees surrounding a village. How would I do that?

    Community Answer

    Where do you want your village to be? One cool trick is to draw some trees in front of the village. It also depends on what medium you're working with. If you're working with acrylics, draw the most distant trees first, then work your way towards the viewer.

  • You can even add some little rocks on the forest ground.

  • Give contrast colours on tree, animals, and stones so it looks like natural and use colour pencils and oil pastel or crayon.

  • Add animals or some branches, or even change the type of trees to add variety.

About This Article

Article Summary X

If you want to draw a sketch-style forest, start by drawing 2 vertical lines on a sheet of paper. Add in several lighter, shorter vertical lines, but vary the angle slightly so the trees will look more natural. Draw angled lines coming from the trees to form branches, and add short lines near the bottom of the drawing to create bushes in front of the trees. Use bushy, curvy lines to make the leaves. Once you have the outline drawn, color the trees using various shades of green and brown. To learn how to draw a basic forest, keep reading!
