Steemit Engagement Challenge WOX Community S6W3: Drawing Trees

Hello, my dear friend, I am so excited to have you here today. In this post, I have discussed and drawn cashew tree as part of my entry to the contest that is organized in the World of Xpilar Community.

About the cashew tree

Cashew trees are also known as Anacardium occidentale, which is their scientific name. It normally takes 2 to 3 years for cashew trees to grow well after planting and get ready for harvest. One good thing about cashew trees is that they are long-term crops with a lifespan of 50 to 80 years and above. Another good thing about cashew trees is that they are very economical in such a way that you can make good money from selling cashew nuts.

Now since the purpose of this post is to show you how to draw a tree, which I have chosen to be the cashew tree, let's take a look at how to draw it right below.

Instruments used for drawing

The instruments that I used in drawing this cashew tree are:

• A Pencil (HB Lead Pencil)
• A Plain Paper
  An eraser

Step 1:

Cashew trees are not always straight, and cashew nuts have a very curved shape. Now in this step, I start by drawing a soft sketch diagonally, where I try to get the sharp edge just as cashew trees have it. In the process, I start by drawing a soft sketch on the paper.

Step 2:

After I have finished sketching the cashew tree and the branches, I then begin to trace where I will fix the cashew nuts.

Step 3:

After I had finished sketching, I then made use of a 2B pencil to darken the sharp end, stem, and cashew nuts.

Step 4:

I keep on darkening the cashew tree gently, and since there's no color ink available, I couldn't add color to the cashew nuts in the drawing.

Below, you can take a look at the cashew tree that I have drawn.

Thank you for stopping by. I am inviting @simonnwigwe, @ishayachris, and @yakspeace.
