So to start this drawing off, you don't need a huge variety of pencils. If you only have one pencil grade, that should do you just fine during this.

To start off, I made a line about 4 inches tall just to tell where the top and bottom of my tree is going to be. After this, you can also make a tall cone starting from the top of the line going down the to bottom to help keep your drawing within proportion.

I start the with the snow covered areas of the tree because they are going to be the lightest. Use a sharp pencil for this and follow along in the video where I start to make a snow shape. I start with the cap of the tree and usually do a hershy kiss shape. The rest of the tree I filled in as if I were drawing in clouds. Try to keep the shapes looking organic as it will help your tree to look more lifelike.

After the snow is applied, we are now going to draw in the tree details. Like a lot of my other how to draw tree videos, I use a pencil on its side and start to follow in the direction of the tree. Starting at the main stem and working my way out towards the outer parts of the tree. I try to keep these lines dark to keep a nice contrast.

Once that is finished up, you can go back in with a blending stump, and just blend some of the snow areas that we drew in. No need to add any more graphite to the page. Just blend what is on it so that it will give the snow a bit of volume.

After that you pretty much have a completed drawing! I hope you all enjoyed!
