How to Draw a Radish
Draw a radish 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: the bulb.
Step 1: The bulb
A little below the middle draw a big round bulb as big as your fist, a bit wider than tall.
Step 2: Two big eyes
Above the middle of the bulb draw 2 big egg eyes. Colour a black dot in each, leaving a shine.
Tip Leave a clear gap round each eye.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile from eye to eye. Add a flat oval cheek beside each end.
Step 4: Three stems
From the bulb top draw 3 stems, thinner at the top: one straight up, one curving out each side.
Tip Rub out the bulb line inside the stems.
Step 5: Three leaves
On the end of each stem draw a big rounded leaf like a fat almond, with a pointed tip.
Step 6: Leaf veins
Draw one line up the middle of each leaf, from the stem end to near the tip.
Step 7: Thin root
From low on the bulb's right, draw a thin root that droops to a point level with the bottom.
Tip Thin like a string.
Step 8: White bottom
Under the cheeks draw one shallow curve across the bulb from edge to edge, bowing down.
Step 9: The ground
Draw a ground line from left to right, just touching the bottom of the bulb and the root tip.
Step 10: Pink cheeks
Go over your lines. Colour the cheeks pink.
Step 11: White bottom, green leaves
Leave the bulb white under the curve, and the root white. Colour the leaves and stems green.
Step 12: Red top
Colour the bulb red above the curve, around the cheeks. Leave the eyes white. Your radish is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a radish, drawn by you.
