How to Draw a Great Looking Cartoon Tree for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
Begin by drawing two parallel lines. The lines should curve toward each other slightly. This will form the trunk of the tree.
Drawing Step 2
Extend a curved line horizontally from each of the parallel lines. Draw another curved line beneath each, connected at a sharp point to the previous line. Connect the most recent lines using a short line. The lines will again meet in a point. You now have roots for your tree.
