9. In addition to the shape of its leaves, the oak tree can be identified by its fruit - a nut known as an acorn. Draw acorns hanging singly or in clusters all over the crown of the tree. For each acorn, first draw a curved shape by doubling a curved line back upon itself. This is the acorn’s cupule, or cap. Then, draw a “U” shaped line to form the nut.
Color Your Oak Tree Drawing
Color your oak tree. In summer, its leaves are a rich green. In fall, they turn vibrant hues of orange and yellow.
Don't stop there! Create an entire cartoon forest and fill it with wildflowers and gentle woodland creatures.

Learn More About The Oak Tree Drawing
There are about 450 species of oak trees found throughout the world's temperate zones. Oak trees produce acorns, a food source for animals and, in the past, for people.
Corks used as stoppers for wine bottles are produced from the bark of the Mediterranean cork oat, and Aleppo oak is used to make ink.
Since ancient times, this noble plant has appeared in art and symbolism. In Greek mythology, the oak was considered sacred to Zeus, and in Norse mythology to Thor.
Representing strength and endurance, oak leaves and acorns appear in coats of arms, architecture, coins, and seals. In 2004, it became the National Tree of the United States of America.

This plant was named such because of the shape of its leaves.
