How To Draw A Rainforest

10 Amazing (and Easy!) Tutorials

Introduction

Drawing a rainforest may seem like a daunting task, but it need not be that difficult. If you do feel intimidated by the idea of drawing rainforests, it’s probably because you don’t know how to approach the drawing. I too have experienced a similar case, which is why I studied a few tutorials on how to draw a rainforest, and honed my drawing skills. Afterwards, drawing a rainforest didn’t feel that difficult to me, and I’m sure you too can have that feeling removed from your mind, once you go through those videos.

The rainforest has two unique elements. The first is the tree, and it needs to be of certain specifications. The next is the density. Rainforests are mostly dense, and your drawing needs to show that. If you want, you can also add a few animals, just to make it look a bit more interesting.

In this painting tutorial, we’ll look at the process of painting a forest scene with rainfall. Everything in this artwork is very detailed. From the way it’s sketched, to the drawing itself, everything is very nicely structured, and has accurate details. You can tell just by looking at this, that it’s not a drawing for beginners or amateurs. I recommend you try this out only if you’re skilled with pencil drawing and sketching.

That being said, it’s a difficult artwork to work on, and you need to be somewhat experienced with pencil sketches before you can perfectly replicate this one.

In this video tutorial, we once again look at the process of drawing rainforest trees. Compared to the one before, it’s a more vivid drawing, and has a lot of sharpness to it. Plus, there are some dark shades used here as well. This gives the drawing a more realistic look. The process to draw this one is no different than the one before. But this drawing seems much more accurate to me than the previous rainforest tree drawing.

This amazing rainforest is draw with pen and ink. The use of pen makes for a bolder, and more vivid look. It’s as if you were coloring the drawing with a black marker. If you want, you can ditch the pen and ink, and opt for a pencil instead. But I insist you do this drawing with pen, as intended, otherwise the results may not be as satisfactory as you would want them to be.

Drawing a Dense Rainforest

This video tutorial will show you the process of drawing a sunny rainforest seen. It’s a dense forest artwork, with sunrays penetrating through the top of the trees, and into the forest.

Hence, I recommend you try this only if you’re somewhat experienced in pencil drawing.
