How to Draw a Ginger Flower
Draw a ginger flower 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 torch.
Step 1: The torch
Near the top middle draw a tall cone like a flame: a rounded point on top and a flat bottom.
Tip Like a pine cone made of red waxy petals.
Step 2: Top scales
Near the top draw 1 little upside-down U with a pointy top, then 2 more below it.
Step 3: More scales
Under them draw 1 in the middle, then 2 wider ones below, tucked into the gaps like roof tiles.
Step 4: Last scales
Finish with 1 in the middle and 2 near the bottom. Keep every scale off the edges.
Step 5: The stem
From the cone draw 2 gently curved lines down to near the bottom of your paper, wider at the bottom.
Step 6: 2 leaves
From the stem draw a long pointed leaf out left, tilting up, and another out right, a little lower.
Step 7: Leaf veins
Start on the stem end of each leaf. Draw 1 vein, stopping near the tip.
Step 8: Ground and grass
Draw a ground line under the stem across the paper. Add 2 grass blades each side, away from the stem.
Step 9: Red torch
Go over your lines, then colour the whole cone bright red.
Step 10: Green leaves and stem
Colour the leaves light green and the stem dark green. Your flower is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a ginger flower, drawn by you.
