You can often see a willow standing by the river side in northern countries. This tree is different from the other ones. Its branches are bent down, not up. The plant likes moisture, that’s why it grows near the water.
Can we start?
Tree trunk
The size of tree trunk depends on how old the plant is. Young willow is thin and tall. The old trees are leaning to the side, their trunks are uneven and rough.
Main branches
Draw several bent down lines from the trunk, they resemble long hair.
Top
Form the top of the trunk, which goes to the left and right.
Side branches
Draw some extra lines from the main branches because the crown of the tree always looks lush.
Give the volume
Delineate the branches with the help of the additional lines, indicating their width.
Correct the drawing, erase unnecessary details.
Buds
There are fluffy buds in spring, we call them pussy willows. Draw them in any number.
Leaves
Draw them in any number.
Some leaves are barely budged, that’s why they’re small.
Coloring
Color the tree in brown, the leaves are green, and the buds are light gray.
