Zentangle Christmas Tree Tutorial

Step 1: Sketch Your Tree

There are many different ways to draw a Christmas tree. You can make it as simple or complex as you like. We chose to draw three overlapping triangular shapes.

Step 2: Outline The Tree

Use a thicker black marker to outline the drawing.

Optional: To make the tree stand out, add thicker lines on the bottom or places with shadows.

Optional: Divide Tree Spaces

Depending on the size of the drawing, you can also add an extra line to each tree shape. This will give kids a small space to put their black-and-white designs.

Step 3: Fill Your Shapes

Add patterns, designs, and more to the shapes. Repeating lines and patterns is a great way to start.

Optional: Add Color

These doodle pumpkins are perfect as black-and-white drawings. However, you can also use colored pencils or watercolor paint to add one more design element.

Tips

  • Consider coloring in some negative space when creating black-and-white doodles.
  • You can create balance by repeating a similar pattern or design in a different spot.
  • We like using 1-2 colors of watercolor paint in the background to add a little color and fun to these drawings.
