How to Draw a Scary Tree and Tree Coloring Page

Below you’ll find an easy step-by-step how to draw a Scary Tree tutorial and Tree coloring page. Scroll down to learn more and download yours for free.

One of the main things that students need to remember when they learn how to draw a scary tree, is that the branches are just plain wavy. As in there are almost no straight lines to be seen anywhere. The creepy factor probably comes from the fact that they start to look like little fingers.

If this example seems complex, not to worry, as it’s easy to do if you just take it step by step. The main trunk needs to come first, of course, but the rest is just adding smaller and smaller branches. If students follow this kind of plan, and finish with lots of little wiggly lines at the end of every tip, they are bound to have a tree with a very interesting silhouette, to say the least.

One classroom tip? Do try to encourage students to find good black markers for the coloring in stage of this project. A solid black will look so much more impressive that any semi-dried out black marker color.
