How to Draw a Banyan Tree: Step-by-Step for Kids

A banyan tree has a thick trunk, a very wide leafy top and long roots that hang down from the branches like ropes.

Step-by-Step: Drawing a Banyan Tree

Step 1: Draw the trunk

Draw a thick, slightly twisted trunk. Make it wider at the bottom with roots spreading out on the ground.

Step 2: Add the branches

From the top of the trunk, draw four or five thick branches spreading left and right.

Step 3: Draw the canopy

Above the branches, draw a wide cloud-shaped outline for the leaves, much wider than the trunk.

Step 4: Add the leaf clusters

Inside the canopy, draw small curved bumps to show clusters of leaves.

Step 5: Draw the hanging roots

From the branches, draw many thin vertical lines hanging down. These are the aerial roots.

Step 6: Add the ground roots

Where some of the hanging roots touch the ground, thicken them into extra trunks.

Step 7: Add the ground

Draw grass and a shadow under the tree.

Step 8: Outline and erase

Trace with a marker and erase the pencil.

Colouring Your Banyan Tree

Use brown and grey for the trunk and roots with darker lines for the bark. The canopy is deep green with a lighter green on top. Add a light blue sky.

Tips for Drawing a Banyan Tree

  • Make the canopy much wider than the trunk. A banyan tree spreads sideways.
  • Draw the hanging roots as thin, uneven lines. They are what makes it a banyan.
