Knowing how to draw a variety of plants can significantly aid your scene creation and boost the realism of your artwork. Today, I'll be covering step by step how to draw trees, leaves, flowers, and grass strands. Everything in this tutorial is done by hand, without texture brushes, so that it can be recreated regardless of what brushes you have access to.
To see the full process of each tutorial, check out my YouTube video above in which I go over everything as well. Now let's get started!
The Forjjol pack makes for great texture, especially when drawing leaves or bark. It’s seen throughout this Helpful Guide in all of the step by step tutorials.

Tonal Corrections can help you to achieve a more balanced and natural looking finished product. We’ll be using them throughout the step by step tutorials.
There are two ways to access Tonal Corrections; (Layer) -> (New Correction Layer) for having the correction appear on all lower layers OR (Layer) -> (New Correction Layer) for having the correction appear on only one layer with a fixed edit. I have demonstrated both methods of access below with images.
Tone Curve alters the contrast of your image and can brighten or darken the individual values within the work. It is used in…

Clipping a new layer to your base layer allows you to draw anywhere on your canvas and have it only appear on top of your base layer. To use this tool, click “Clip to Layer Below” on your layer panel. It is seen throughout these step by step tutorials.

Tree bark is difficult to illustrate due to its extreme texture. While Clip Studio offers many textured brushes on its Assets page for speeding up the time it takes to draw bark, I’ll be free hand drawing it step by step for you to recreate regardless of what brushes you have access to.
Step One ; Starting off with a brown base, I begin sketching out the general segments of my tree bark. These shapes can vary depending on what tree you are drawing, so I suggest reviewing a reference photo to confirm.
Step Two ; Next I grab my Forjjol Brush ④ and start adding depth to the segments. No need to get into much detail yet as we’re currently establishing the base colors which will go below everything.

Step Three ; To add a pop of color and make my base more diverse, I use a warmer value, complimented by a darker, muted value to give the tree a bit of an ashe hue. These colors are placed roughly using the Forjjol Brush ⓧ to provide texture.
Step Four ; I begin blending all currently existing content for my tree with the Forjjol Blur ① brush. This step is optional, but I feel it allows for the colors to flow more naturally.
Step Five ; After blurring, I redefine my bark segments once more using a darker shade than they were originally drawn in. To increase realism, try making these lines unsteady and rough, rather than perfectly smooth. You can easily achieve this by decreasing brush Stabilization as needed.

Step Six ; Start creating a textured surface. I color select the lightest tint in my image then lighten it even further using my color wheel. Having a grasp of where your light source is before laying down the details is important, as that will greatly impact where texture is most visible. Keep in mind the surface is not smooth; It has raised and uneven ledges where the bark may begin to peel off the tree. Highlights are generally more prominent on the edges of raised bark strands that are facing the light source.
Step Seven ; Begin laying down an even darker value to emphasize the primary bark strands once again. Then, continue adding details and texture to the bark, gradually building up the contrast between lights and darks. Take care not to make your texture too uniform in pattern, but rather vary the shapes you use over the entirety of the tree.
Step Eight ; We’re getting close to the end! On a new layer set to OVERLAY, use a warm hue towards your light source. Erase where necessary if this layer starts to wear down some of the depth you’ve established.

Step Nine ; Using the Gradient (G) tool set to Foreground to Transparent, on a new layer with MULTIPLY setting on, create a shadow coming from the opposite end of your light source. Build up this shadow as necessary by creating additional MULTIPLY layers on top of each other. And you’re done! You could continue adding additional texture details if you’d like to further increase realism, but I’ll be stopping here.
The oak tree can be found throughout the world and consists of 600 different species of oak. Because of this, its leaves, size, shape, and color can vary greatly depending on the individual species you select. Before you begin drawing your tree, decide which variation you’ll be making and double check to confirm that it would thrive in the scene you’re placing it in.
Step One ; Sketch a rough outline for where your tree bark and most visible lower branches will sit. Use a color for your line art that will blend well with your future base color.

Step Two ; Fill in the base by creating a new layer and coloring beneath your line art layer. I use the Forjjol Brush ④ for this step to provide texture. Then, merge the line art with the base color for easy blending later.
Step Three ; With Forjjol Brush ⓧ I paint in the base for my leaves. To easily fill in even the back edges of the tree with the bark still showing, create two new layers for the leaves, one placed above your Tree Trunk layer and one placed below it.
Notice that the outline of the tree leaves is not perfectly round; it has uneven edges and protruding bumps where some leaf bundles are placed higher than others.

Step Four ; With a darker value of green, start creating depth on your tree leaves by outlining the edges of the leaf bundles loosely. They should start towards the tree trunk and work their way outwards.
Step Five ; Using a lighter color, highlight the tops of the individual leaf bundles where the light source will be hitting them. Start to blend in your colors then and create leaf texture to signify individual leaves around the edges of the leaf bundles.
Step Six ; Continue to blend in the colors and start further highlighting the very edges of leaf bundle tops in an even lighter color.

Step Seven ; On layer used for the tree trunk, use a darker shade of brown to define the panels of the tree’s bark. Blend this color in loosely with the original, lighter brown shade used for the tree trunk in Step Two to imply additional shadows.
Step Eight ; Apply further emphasis on the tree trunk’s panels by darkening the edges and using a brighter, warm tint of color for highlight. Grab a lighter tint of green and add pops of additional highlights on the top of the leaf bundles in the tree, and some darker values color to the branches of the tree leaves to add contrast.
Step Nine ; As the final step, go to (Layer) -> (New Correction Layer) -> (Hue/Saturation/Luminosity) and make color adjustments to your tree until it’s the correct shade as commonly seen for the species and lighting.

Now that you know how to draw oak trees from a distance and their overall composition, we’ll begin learning how to draw individual leaves for closer, foreground subjects.
Oak leaves can vary greatly depending on the individual species of oak tree you are drawing so be sure to research in advance what variety grows in the climate of the scene you are creating. The following tutorial will be for a white oak tree leaf, which grows best in rich soil and direct sunlight. This species is native to North America.
Step One ; Begin with the outline of your leaf. It should be somewhat symmetrical, though it is not necessary to make it perfectly symmetrical. To achieve easy symmetry, use the symmetry ruler OR, draw one half of the leaf, duplicate the
