How to Draw a Bluebonnet
Draw a bluebonnet 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: mound and stalk.
Step 1: Mound and stalk
Near the bottom draw a dirt mound. From its top draw a stalk of 2 close lines, stopping high up.
Tip Let the 2 lines come a little closer together as they go up.
Step 2: Two more stalks
From the mound draw a stalk of 2 close lines leaning left, stopping lower. Do the same on the right.
Step 3: The middle cone
From the middle stalk's top draw a tall bumpy cone up to a point. Curve a line under its tip.
Tip Keep it slim and pointy, much taller than it is wide, with little bumps all the way up.
Step 4: The left cone
From the left stalk's top draw a tall bumpy cone up to a point. Curve a line under its tip.
Step 5: The right cone
From the right stalk's top draw a tall bumpy cone up to a point. Curve a line under its tip.
Step 6: Leaf on the left
Low on the left stalk draw a short leaf stalk out left, with 5 slim fingers fanning from its end.
Tip A bluebonnet leaf looks like a hand with 5 thin fingers.
Step 7: Leaf on the right
Draw a leaf just like it on the right stalk, with a short leaf stalk and 5 slim fingers.
Step 8: Ground and grass
Draw a ground line out from each side of the mound. Flick up 2 grass blades each side.
Step 9: Green stalks and leaves
Colour the 3 stalks, the 2 leaf stalks and all 10 fingers leaf green.
Step 10: Blue cones, brown mound
Colour the cones blue, but leave each tip white. Colour the mound brown, and your bluebonnet is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a bluebonnet, drawn by you.
