How to Draw a Sprout
Draw a sprout 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: soil mound.
Step 1: Soil mound
Near the bottom start on the left. Draw a soft hill up and over, stopping level on the right.
Tip Make the mound as wide as your hand.
Step 2: The stem
From the mound draw 2 lines up, twice as tall as the mound, starting wide and ending close together.
Step 3: Two big leaves
Halfway up the stem draw a big fat round leaf out to the left and back. Do the right too.
Step 4: Leaf veins
Start on the stem in each leaf. Draw one curved vein line out toward the tip, stopping just short.
Step 5: Tiny bud
From the top of one stem line draw 2 tiny round leaves like a V, stopping on the other line.
Step 6: The ground
From the bottom of the mound draw a ground line out to the left, and one out to the right.
Step 7: Grass
From the ground line on each side, flick 2 little grass blades up.
Step 8: Pebbles
On the mound draw 2 small flat pebbles, one low on the left and one higher on the right.
Step 9: Green sprout
Colour both leaves, the bud and the stem green.
Step 10: Grey pebbles, brown soil
Colour the pebbles grey. Colour the mound brown around them. Go over your lines and your sprout is done!
