How to Draw Asparagus
Draw asparagus 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 middle spear.
Step 1: The middle spear
In the middle of your paper draw one tall fat spear standing up, with a pointed bud on top.
Tip Fat at the bottom, narrower at the top, like a tall pencil.
Step 2: Two big eyes
Halfway down the middle spear draw 2 big egg eyes, a gap between. Colour a big black dot in each.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile from eye to eye, with a small oval cheek beside each end.
Step 4: Left spear
On the left draw a second spear, shorter and thinner, leaning out left, tucked behind the middle one.
Step 5: Right spear
Do the same on the right: a shorter thin spear leaning out to the right, tucked behind the middle one.
Step 6: The band
Low down, draw a curved band round all 3 spears, from the left spear's outside to the right spear's.
Step 7: Bud scales
On each bud draw little upside-down V marks, one above another: 3 on the middle spear, 2 on each side.
Tip Tiny roof shapes, each smaller than the bud.
Step 8: The ground
Draw a long ground line under the spears, touching their bottoms and stopping a little way from each edge.
Step 9: Pink cheeks, purple band
Go over your lines, then colour the cheeks pink and the band purple.
Step 10: Green spears
Colour the 3 spears green, going around the band and cheeks. Leave the eyes white, and your asparagus is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: asparagus, drawn by you.
