Step-By-Step Images and Instructions
1.

Start with a black pen, and draw two wavy lives, both angled in towards one another, in the center of your page.
2.

From the bottom of these, bring down two round shapes with points at the bottom.
3.

Add angry, jagged brows above the shape of the eyes…
4.

And then add a jagged line to the bottom, with curved lines at either end.
5.

Add another jagged line to the bottom, and connect these with curves at the top to create a mouth.
6.

Add another line inside the main shape of the mouth, and then lines just to the left of the inside of the eyes.
7.

Bring two lines up at the top, and connect these with a jagged line at the top. Add a cylinder shape to the right, and then add a “hook” to the right.
8.

Add another set of jagged lines to the back…
9.

And then line the very inside of the top.
10.

Bring a line across on the right, and take this down to three “claws”. Take the line up and across back towards the body.
11.

Add another arm to the left, complete with three more claws…
12.

And then bring down two curved, parallel lines for the body.
13.

Bring out two points at the bottom, heading out towards the edges. Make sure that these are wavy and textured – these will be the tree roots.
14.

Add two more roots to the center…
15.

And then add a series of wavy lines all up the trunk of the tree.
16.

Use a yellow pen to add color to the eyes…
17.

And then add a ring around this with a green pen. Use the same shade for the mouth.
18.

Shade the rest of the eyes with a darker green pen.
19.

Use a gray pen for the rest of the trunk…
20.

And a black pen for the top.
And there we have it – a spooky, haunted tree just waiting for a good ghost story – if you think you are brave enough!
