How to Draw Tiny Trees

Miniaturist Blake Gore (AKA Professional Squinter) creates tiny masterpieces with ink and marker on Strathmore paper.

Scroll down to watch a helpful tutorial video Blake created demonstrating his quick and approachable process for drawing tiny trees. One important piece of advice Blake shares to ensure success is to start with the lightest colors and add the leaves in random, organic bunches instead of trying to draw individual trees. Slowly progress to adding darker layers of green towards the under side of the leaf bunches and leave the tops lighter where the light would hit.

Supplies:

  • Strathmore 300 Series Bristol Smooth paper (100lb/270gsm)
  • Lyra Aqua Brush Duo Markers (yellow, light green, dark green, gray)
  • Lyra Graduate Fineliner (black)
  • Graphite pencil
