How to Draw a Kohlrabi
Draw a kohlrabi in 11 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 ball.
Step 1: The ball
Below the middle of your paper draw a big squat ball, a bit wider than tall, with a flat bottom.
Tip A kohlrabi is a ball with stalks poking out of its sides.
Step 2: Two big eyes
A little above the middle of the ball draw 2 big egg eyes. Colour a big black dot in each.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile. Add a small flat oval cheek beside each eye.
Step 4: Two top stalks
From the top of the ball draw 2 stalks reaching up, one leaning left, one right. Fatter at the bottom.
Step 5: Two side stalks
From each side of the ball, level with the eyes, draw a stalk curving out and up.
Step 6: Four leaves
On the end of each stalk draw a big oval leaf with a pointy tip.
Step 7: Leaf veins
Start where each stalk meets its leaf. Draw a line up the middle of the leaf. Stop near the tip.
Step 8: The ground
Draw the ground line from far left to far right, just touching the bottom of the ball.
Step 9: Pink cheeks
Go over your lines, then colour the cheeks pink.
Step 10: Green stalks and leaves
Colour the leaves light green and the stalks a darker green.
Step 11: Purple ball
Colour the ball purple, around the cheeks. Leave the eyes white. Your kohlrabi is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a kohlrabi, drawn by you.
