In autumn, we return to work, to studies, and little by little, the cold returns. We spend more time indoors, and it’s easier to have paper and pencil at hand for drawing.
If you’re in an autumn mood, try any of these simple drawings that smell like rain and dry leaves. Feel free to also open your box of colors and make use of the yellow, orange, red, and brown palette.
1. Leaves
It’s clear that the most typical autumn drawing is of leaves, but that doesn’t mean we’ll stop drawing them. There are a thousand different shapes, and if you need ideas, just draw the ones you see on the street.
2. Fallen Leaves and Fruits
Draw a ground full of fallen leaves. How many different shapes can you come up with? You can also add fruits like chestnuts, acorns, walnuts… If you color each leaf with a different shade, it will turn into a beautiful drawing.
3. Autumn Tree
Trees without leaves are perfect for practicing drawing the structure of the trunk and branches.
4. Cat in a Sweater
When the cold comes, we all rush to the wardrobe for a sweater. So why wouldn’t our pet need one too? It’s an easy and fun drawing, and you can personalize the sweater with different patterns.
5. Cozy Scarf
Our girl with sunglasses from the summer drawings is going to need a scarf.
6. Leaves Blown by the Wind
Instead of simply drawing fallen leaves, you can show them being blown by the wind.
7. Playing with the Wind
It’s fun when the wind blows the leaves and messes up your hair.
8. Autumn is Coming
Pumpkins are a typical autumn fruit and very easy to draw with their rounded shapes. To avoid making a simple drawing, you can add a direction sign with any message you like.
9. Back to Studying
Autumn is also the season for returning to studies, work, or simply reading at home with a good coffee. With some rectangles and circles, you can easily create this drawing and personalize it by adding other objects you can think of: headphones, a mobile phone, a donut for a snack, etc.
10. Takeaway Coffee
As the days get colder, it’s time to bring back the takeaway coffee that warms our hands so well.
11. Rain
Rain is omnipresent in autumn, and we can draw it in countless ways. Some black clouds and slanted lines, and you’ve got yourself a downpour. You decide where it falls: the forest? the city?
12. Mushrooms
Tall or chubby, edible or poisonous, mushrooms are an easy and appealing drawing. Dare to draw a gnome sitting on top of them?
13. Walking in the Rain
Drawing characters with raincoats saves us from having to make too many details since the raincoat covers the entire body.
14. Forest Fruits
It’s not only the season for chestnuts and mushrooms; other forest fruits like blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries also appear. Their round shapes are easy to draw and very decorative.
15. Autumn Clothing
Draw your own cozy sweater. The most fun part of this drawing is adding the geometric patterns you like the most.
