How to Draw a Foxglove
Draw a foxglove in 12 easy steps, about 9 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: tall stalk.
Step 1: Tall stalk
Start at the bottom middle. Draw a very tall stalk of 2 lines, a little thinner at the top.
Step 2: First bell
Right of the stalk, below the middle, draw a bell hanging down and out with a round open mouth.
Tip Like a little sock with a wide open mouth.
Step 3: Bell on the left
A little higher, on the left side, draw another bell hanging down and out, nearly as big.
Step 4: More bells
Keep going up the stalk, left and right in turn, each bell a little smaller than the one below.
Step 5: Top bells
Near the top draw 2 more small bells. Finish with 3 closed buds, like little pointed ovals, at the tip.
Step 6: Open mouths
In each bell, draw a curve from one corner of the mouth to the other, bending back inside.
Step 7: Spots
Inside the 3 biggest bells dot 3 little spots in a row, a little way back from the mouth.
Step 8: More spots
Dot 3 spots in the next 2 bells up the same way.
Step 9: Big leaves
From the bottom of the stalk draw a big fat leaf out to the left and another to the right.
Step 10: Ground and grass
Draw a soft sagging ground line across the bottom. Flick 2 little grass blades up past each leaf tip.
Step 11: Pink bells
Go over your lines. Colour every bell and bud pink, around the red spots.
Step 12: Green stalk and leaves
Colour the stalk and both leaves leaf green, and your foxglove is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a foxglove, drawn by you.
