Method 2 of 3: Cartoon Forest

Step 1. Start by drawing a line for the ground

Step 2. Look at the picture and draw six slightly curved and irregular vertical lines to represent the tree trunks
Make sure the base of each trunk is wider than the top.

Step 3. Draw more tree trunks behind the first ones

Step 4. Add a third row of logs to the background

Step 5. Now it's time to add your favorite details, such as bushes, leaves, berries and mushrooms

Step 6. Use colors to make your drawing more realistic
Remember that trees further away will have less sharp and shinier shades. Use light shades of yellow and green to make your forest background gloomy.
Method 3 of 3: Inhabited Forest

Step 1. Draw the terrain
If you want to give your forest a turf, draw numerous peaks of different sizes and directions.

Step 2. Draw some trees
Make the nearest trees bigger and visible and smaller and hidden ones, giving the right perspective to your creation.

Step 3. Add some details to bring life to your forest
As for the flora you can indulge yourself with mushrooms, resins, barks, bushes and shrubs. For the fauna you can draw insects and mammals and even one or two owls. You can also add children picking acorns and berries, a tramp lying asleep under a tree, or a cheerful group of people on a picnic if you wish. If you love fairy tales you can add a fictional character like Little Red Riding Hood on the path that leads her to her grandmother's house.

Step 4. Color your drawing
Remember that hidden trees are in the shade, so use the brightest colors for those in the foreground and darker colors for those in the background. Use gradual tones and bring out the desired details.
