How To Draw Leaves Falling

10 Amazing (and Easy!) Tutorials

Introduction

Drawing a scene with leaves falling from a tree or anywhere else will instantly remind anyone of the fall season. I try to draw these scenes from my memory, as I do my best to capture the view of those bone dry trees, with leaves everywhere on the ground. Of course, I can understand if you’re unfamiliar with such scenes. Don’t worry, because I know a few good tutorials which can show you how to draw leaves falling from a tree.

There are two ways you can draw a scene with falling leaves. You can either show the leaves midair while falling from the tree, or you could just keep the tree dry, and show that the leaves have already fallen on the ground. Or, if you want, you could mix the two scenes together, and show them in one single frame.
