Drawing a simple Christmas tree starts with basic shapes like triangles for the branches, a rectangle for the trunk, and optional decorations. This easy method uses just a pencil and paper, suitable for beginners or kids.

Basic Outline

Sketch three overlapping triangles stacked vertically, making each lower one wider for a natural tapered shape. Draw a short rectangle or trapezoid at the base for the trunk.

Add Texture

Outline the triangles with a jagged or scalloped edge to suggest pine needles, breaking the lines slightly for ornaments. Place a five-pointed star at the top.

Decorate

Dot on round ornaments in various sizes along the branches and add a garland by curving lines between them. Color the tree green, trunk brown, star yellow, and ornaments in bright hues.
