Each season has its own beautiful aspects, from the bright sun of Summer to the white snow of Winter, there’s always something to appreciate.
Fall is no exception, as it’s a time of evening chills, Halloween decorations and the changing of the leaves on the trees.
The falling of the crispy leaves is probably the image most associated with this wonderful season, and if you want to get into the Fall spirit then you’re in the right place!
This step-by-step guide on how to draw Fall leaves in just 10 easy steps will get you having artistic Fall fun in no time!
How to Draw Fall Leaves – Let’s get Started!
Perhaps the most iconic Fall leaf is the maple leaf, so we shall be drawing one in this guide on how to draw Fall leaves.
You may have seen a maple leaf many times before, but they have quite an intricate design that we’ll be replicating.
Using the reference picture as a guide, draw in an angled jagged line that has smaller points at the top and larger ones near the bottom. Once it looks like the picture, we can move on to step 2!
Step 2 – Draw in some more of the leaf
With the first part of your Fall leaves drawing done, we can start to draw in the side section that will extend outwards.
They will have a large point before moving back inwards as you can see in the reference picture.
Leaf Drawing
Whether you are looking to draw leaves, or have something that needs them added to the background, here’s a handy tutorial for you. It includes six basic types of leaves so students can just begin to learn the different names, without getting too scientific.
My experience is that some are easiest to draw when you start with veins first, and the leaf shape around then, and others visa versa. Either way, I hope this easy leaf drawing tutorial comes in handy the next time you need some variety for your fall leaf art.
Media note: Crayons work great, but this can make a lovely watercolor painting too, as shown in my sample to the right. I recommended using real watercolor paper, a black Sharpie for a bleed-proof drawing and liquid watercolor paint. Extra dabs of color along the veins make for some fun wet-on-wet painting practice.
