How to Draw an Aloe
Draw an aloe in 10 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the pot rim.
Step 1: The pot rim
Low on your paper draw a wide flat pot rim, as wide as your hand and a finger tall.
Step 2: The pot
Start under the rim near the left end. Go down leaning in, across, and back up to the rim.
Step 3: The middle leaf
Start on the middle of the rim. Draw a tall thick leaf up to a sharp point and back down.
Step 4: Two more leaves
From the rim draw a shorter leaf leaning out left and one leaning out right, tucked behind the middle leaf.
Step 5: Leaves further out
Draw another pair from the rim leaning further out, shorter again and curving outwards.
Step 6: The outside leaves
Draw the last pair from the rim curving right out to the sides, the shortest of all.
Step 7: Middle lines
Inside the 3 middle leaves draw 1 line up from near the rim, stopping short of the point.
Step 8: The table
Draw a long straight table line along the bottom of the pot, sticking out on both sides.
Step 9: Green leaves
Colour all 7 leaves green, right to their points.
Step 10: Ginger pot
Colour the pot and its rim ginger brown. Go over your lines and your aloe is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: an aloe, drawn by you.
