  The best way to learn how to draw anything is to look at reference images while you practice drawing them. A reference image is just a photo of what you want to draw. The more you practice, the easier it will be to draw deer or anything else you want.

• When you are drawing with a pencil, do it lightly so its easier to rub out with no marks left.

• Always start by drawing with a pencil.

• If you are using color pencils to color, first color the tree with respective colors lightly and then you can shade it in any way.

• You can also draw straight with a black marker but you won't be able to change the mistake (if any) unless it is an erasable marker.

• If your using markers to color and you are making the picture in a sketchbook, the ink may come on the next page.

To draw a christmas tree, start by drawing an isosceles triangle in pencil. At the bottom of the triangle, draw a cylindrical stump. Then, draw 5 curved horizontal lines spaced out evenly along the height of the triangle, going past the edges of the triangle. Add leaves by drawing jagged lines under the 5 curved lines, then draw the strings of lights, ornaments, and a star on top. Finish by tracing in marker and coloring in the leaves and ornaments, then erasing your pencil lines. For another simple way to draw a Christmas tree, keep reading!
