The steps in words
- Draw a big cloud shape with rounded edges. This is the treetop.
- Under it, draw a trunk: two lines that widen a little at the bottom.
- At the bottom of the trunk, add roots that spread out to the sides like fingers.
- Inside the treetop, draw three round fruits, each with a little leaf.
- On top of the tree, draw a small, smiling bird.
- Go over all the lines in black. The tree is ready!
Tip: Swap the fruit for oranges, pomegranates or almond blossoms, and you get a different tree every time.
