How to Draw an Anthurium
Draw an anthurium 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 heart.
Step 1: The heart
Near the top of your paper draw a big heart, as big as your hand, point down.
Tip An anthurium flower is one shiny red heart with a yellow tail sticking up.
Step 2: The spike
From the dip in the heart draw a spike leaning a little right, wide at the bottom, round on top.
Step 3: A shine
Inside the left bump of the heart draw a thin curved sliver for a shine, following the edge.
Step 4: The stem
Start under the flower. Draw 2 close stem lines down, bowing slightly, stopping near the bottom of the paper.
Step 5: Left leaf
On the left, below the flower, draw a heart-shaped leaf, point down, leaning toward the stem.
Step 6: Right leaf
Draw another heart leaf on the right, a little lower, point down, leaning toward the stem.
Step 7: Leaf stems and veins
From low on the stem, curve a stem up to each leaf's point. Draw a vein from dip to point.
Step 8: Ground and grass
Draw a soft ground line through the bottom of the stem, stopping short of both edges. Flick up some grass.
Step 9: Red heart
Colour the heart bright red, leaving the shine white, and the spike yellow.
Step 10: Dark green leaves
Colour the leaves dark green and the stems green, and your anthurium is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: an anthurium, drawn by you.
