Gestural Pencil Drawing Style for Location Sketching
Trees are a great location sketching subject - beautiful, varied, and fond everywhere. This video demos a great pencil drawing technique suitable for brisk drawings that capture the feel not just of trees, but of various tree characteristics. Watch the video, and then have a go drawing the tree yourself. This channel has an extensive Drawing Trees playlist which makes up a massive tree drawing course you can do for free! The end screen link will take you there. Have fun!

Thanks Alex. It was an enjoyable change in drawing for me. 😀
Thank you for sharing your approach to tree-drawing. You pointed out that if you draw leaf shapes in places, it will make the tree seem closer than it is and destroy the illusion of scale - super helpful, thank you!

Thank you. Have you seen my tree drawing playlist? All the best with your foliage. 😀
I've been working on a painting which has a very large tree in front of a barn, and is a major feature of the painting. I'm been working bottom up and having the exact problem you describe. I will start thinking and drawing it top down for this next go

Don’t give up. 😀
Thanks for the lesson using a pencil. I am trying to create with pins but it is hard to release a technique I am more comfortable using. But whether I am using pencil or pin most of the time my hatching looks as if my eyes were closed during hatching.
