A real tree, needle after needle, baubles hanging in the gaps between the branches. This realistic tree drawing is the Christmas evening sheet for an older child or an adult, in pencil ideally so the needles keep their edge, with two greens alternating by branch to give the tree depth. Pinned up, the needles read as texture from across the room, and the baubles are the only place for a red. Too much work? Back to the snowman.
A full Christmas tree of layered needles, star on top.
